Welcome to Dubai Marina, the world's most talked about waterfront development. The entire Dubai Marina and the lagoon traversing through it are purpose-built for tourism and leisure activities. And the best way to experience it is by sailing on the mellow water of the lagoon by a wooden boat called Dhow. Al Wasl, the award-winning dinner cruise company, offers Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina, which is an entertaining and skyline gazing experience. It provides a night view of the Dubai Marina District. It boasts some of the most well-known and iconic developments, such as JBR, Cayan Tower, the Bluewater, Ain Dubai (the most prominent and highest wheel in the world), and countless other eyeball-grabbing sky-high towers.

Beautifully lit up the night, these landmarks would be the ideal background for a great selfie.

They say that Dubai Canal is one of the 7 manmade wonders of the new world. All manmade, you would witness its full glory while cruising in Dubai Marina Lagoon at night. The canal route passes through high-rise towers and developments such as the iconic Dubai Marina Mall, Cayan Twisted Tower, JBR, and the Ain Dubai, the highest observatory wheel in the world. Then comes the Bluewater development with the legendary Caesars Palace hotel in its heart. You would also see the mighty Atlantic Hotel on Palm Island and Burj Khalifa on the distant horizon. The Dubai Marina is a Must-see itinerary for any tourist, and never a better way than Dhow Cruise Marina!
If you have any event in mind and try to make it unique and memorable, then Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina is the perfect venue. It can take up to 199 guests, including the upper and lower deck, and comes with free sailing. Leave the details to us, and our event managers will provide you with the right package, and your guest won't stop gushing and thanking you. This would be the best selfie event possible. The event could be as varied as a Birthday, marriage anniversary, or a corporate celebration of successful milestone achievements; we have it all covered.
Dubai has mainly two dhow cruise locations. One is cruising on Dubai Creek, which separates the old Dubai districts of Bur Dubai and Deira Dubai. The Creek was once a lifeline of the Dubai trade. The Dhow cruise on Creek would be like a heritage cruise taking you through Old Dubai's old heritage buildings and architecture. The sailing would pass through the old Dubai Museum, the Dubai Administration building, hundreds of water taxis, the old "Abra," and the old souks on both sides. However, the Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina is about the new world that Dubai has ushered in. It sails through the high-rise towers, malls, and other leisure developments. The Dubai Marina dhow cruise is a premium cruising experience, providing a much better selfie and sightseeing experience.
Due to the global Corona pandemic, we have implemented the required preventive measures of the Dubai Health Authority. Every guest and service provider must comply with these guidelines for everyone's safety. Face masks and social distancing are required on every passenger boarding the Dhow cruise. These requirements keep changing, and we advise you to read the instructions given by our coordinator at the time of booking your trip.

The most significant difference is the location, from the name itself. The Marina Dhow Cruise sails around JBR and Dubai Marina, in the heart of the posh and modern high-rise residential and commercial buildings. At the same time, Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek is in Bur Dubai and Deira Creek, where Bur Dubai and Deira's vintage cities meet. The quality of ambiance between Marina and Creek is vastly different. The Marina is one of Dubai's sought-after architectural neighborhoods and home to the world-renowned Tallest Block, where a block of skyscrapers each towering to 300 meters. On the other hand, Deira Creek is a hotspot for business and trade, where heavy barges carrying various goods and supplies needed around the region are nestled in the waters of this area. In short, dhow cruise creek is surrounded by historical buildings, and Marina Dhow Cruise is in new high-rise buildings.
