About this experience

The same two-hour Marina dhow cruise and 5-star buffet, booked privately for up to 2 guests, with your own driver and vehicle from your hotel and back. You go out between the skyscrapers, past the Marina Walk and towards Bluewaters and Ain Dubai, with the whole canal lit. Dinner is an unlimited international buffet with soft drinks, tea and coffee, and a live tanoura performance runs during the cruise. The upper deck is open-air seating and is where to sit if the weather allows. What makes this one private is the vehicle and the booking: a private driver and vehicle collect you from your hotel and bring you back, and the booking is held for your party of up to 2 rather than sold by the seat. Hotel pickup is included on both cruises, but here you do not share it. Alcoholic drinks are not available on board. If a shared boat suits you better, the shared Marina dhow cruise is AED 150 per person, hotel pickup included.
