Dhow Dubai Cruise A Must Do!
A Dhow Dubai Cruise can be an ideal way to spend a holiday with your family, your partner and friends. Believe Me. On several occassions, my family and I have spent a beautiful time on a Dubai Dhow Cruise.

We have presented information about The Dhow Dubai Cruise in a very friendly and easy-to-read manner. Useful Tips, Do's and Dont's, and Important Information:
- Some dhows are operated by big tour companies, while there are certain individually owned dhows too, which are much cheaper.
- It's advisable to book with the big tour companies, as they are more organized and professional. A cheaper deal may not include buffet dinner, soft drinks etc. and may have loads of single men (often smokers) out for cheap thrills. Highly Avoidable!
- A Dhow is a traditional wooden boat used by the Arabs in yesteryears for travel and business. An exotic, decorated vessel, it now comes equipped with all modern trimmings like stereo music, mobile phones, buffet dinner capabilities etc.
- A Dhow Dubai Cruise can now be completely customised. You just need to inform the tour operator about The cuisine, the decorations, the drinks and even the music to be played. Of course, this is only for large groups.
- Any occassion, be it an anniversary, a romantic dinner, a bithday party, a business party, or simply your family gathering can be organised on a Dhow Cruise.

The lit-up sky scrapers of the new and exclusive Dubai Marina Residence, The water promenade of The Dubai Marina Yacht club, The Dubai Marina Mall, five star hotels with their splendid architecture, private beaches, the Palm Jumeirah Islands & the majestic Atlantis Hotel, and the Burj Al Arab billowing like a boat's sail in the night sky whilst cruising through the Palm Canals is an experience that should not be missed.
