Dubai Dhow Cruises Dinner - Don’t Miss to Do While You are in Dubai

I had been for a Dhow cruise Dinner a few days back. I felt like I was walking through the ages when oil was not discovered in this country which depended on pearl hunting for a life supported by the camel. Our cruising started from the creek in a wooden boat known as dhow which is an Arabic word. The same such dhows were used by ancient Portuguese sailors for exploring new lands around the world. These dhows were later transforming to fine boats with first class dining facilities like a 5 star restaurant, floating on the water.

We were picked up at about 06.30 Hrs. in the evening, we reached the creek side in a few minutes, and we were on board. We were greeted with the traditional Arabic hospitality and traditional fruit drinks. Dhow cruising is so popular and every tourist who comes to Dubai does this program. I noticed that the dhow was full, with many nationalities enjoying the trip. Soon this floating restaurant started cruising the beautiful sceneries of Dubai’s modern as well as the traditional architectural construction on either side of the creek.

I could see old Dubai meeting the modern Dubai while enjoying this trip. There was a live show called “Tanoura” dance show in the dhow, it was a great entertainment during the trip. The journey continues through the silent moments of the program. I moved my place to the open upper deck, it was indeed romantic to enjoy the murmuring cool breeze from the gulf of Arabia while sipping some of my favorites drinks.  

Then it was time for the dinner, a perfect dinner in a superb setup more like a five star restaurant- well uniformed staff, silver cutleries, crystal crockeries, made our dinner so remarkable that we enjoyed every moment of the program.  The prices were so affordable and really it is worth for the price. Such a fabulous dinner at just half the price of 5 star hotels. The buffet dinner offered in the dhow was so nice, it was an international cuisine but more to the oriental styled starters and salad and a dessert but the main course was absolutely prepared on continental style. I would give all full marks to the Dhow Cruise Dinner Dubai A Real Romantic Experience.

The cruising was around two hours when we docked our dhow while the cars were waiting to take us back to the hotel. It is indeed a great evening; I would definitely recommend this program to all of you. Please do not miss to do a dhow cruising while you are in Dubai.
