Dubai Marina: Elegant Dhow Dinner Cruise With Buffet & Live Show

Had a really nice evening on the Marina Dinner Cruise. The views of Dubai Marina at night were amazing, especially with all the lights and the skyline. The food was good with a nice variety, and the staff were friendly and helpful throughout the cruise. Overall, it was a relaxing and enjoyable experience. Great way to spend an evening in Dubai, especially if you want to enjoy the views while having dinner.

I wish I could give this experience zero stars. We were seated with random strangers, making it awkward and uncomfortable, and our own family couldn’t even sit together due to the poorly planned seating. The music was bad and kept randomly cutting out, which made everything feel unprofessional. The food was horrible, and despite being told there would be an announcement for the buffet, there wasn’t one. Instead, it turned into a chaotic mess of people rushing and fighting to get food because of the complete lack of organization. The service was terrible from start to finish. Do yourself a favor and book literally any other experience. You’ll get the same views without the awful food, disorganization, and terrible service. This was a complete waste of money.

The boat ride itself wasn’t bad, the boat was suppose to leave at 8pm but left at 840pm. We came back at 10pm, it was not a full 2hr. I have never seen a group of ppl Who have acted as though they never seen food before. This group of ppl bomb rushed to the food by pushing, and grabbing multiple plates. All the food was taken quickly, food ran out and wasn’t replaced. Which was unacceptable, hot water bottles were placed on the tables. No drinks were offered, had to ask for soda. I wouldn’t recommend this Excursion to anyone.

Had an amazing evening on the dhow cruise! The food was delicious and fresh. Loved the live show and music — so much fun! The Dubai Marina skyline looked stunning with all the lights. The breeze, the views, and the vibe made it a perfect night. Truly a must-do

On September 12, 2024, I traveled to Dubai with my family and friends to attend the Enrique Iglesias concert. Enrique's performance was the most beautiful, the best and the most exciting part of our trip. Enrique performed like a 20-year-old young man, energetic and excellent as always. Due to the extreme heat in Dubai, we were only able to visit the arcades, markets, and the Atlantis water park, but we really enjoyed our trip, as well as the kindness, hospitality, and lawfulness of the people of Dubai.

When we booked the cruise with our wonderful concierge Adele at the NH Collection we didn’t quite know what to expect as we had said we wanted something with entertainment but nothing boom boom and we got exactly that ! The food was amazing it was Indian which happens to be my favourite food it was buffet style which you could have as much as you wanted it was delicious , the entertainment was exhilarating that I even got up to dance, we made quite a lot of new friends from all over the world

The experience was incredible. The atmosphere was wonderful, and the cuisine was delicious. The charismatic Wael performed a nice live Tanura dance performance with active involvement from the guests. It was a fantastic excursion to see Dubai at night. On-board amusement is excellent. I would strongly suggest it.

rude staff, unhygienic, insects in food on the boat,didn’t let us to get food & told us to sit down.

We were picked in a bus and arrived in 45 minutes . We were a group of 20 people . The boat was beautiful white , neat and clean just like a big white bull . We were given the first floor and the night view was beautiful to watch , we were served some delicious food and a good beautiful dance show to watch.

It’s a good dinner. The food is delicious. Music and entertainment is nice and the backdrop is splendid. Marina is amazing at night and this makes cruising awesome. Value for money for what they offer.

Book your reservation on the first day of your visit so you don’t have to find food on the first day in the evening, just relax and enjoy the evening in the cruise with the food and a free dance show with beautiful Dubai Marina Views.

Wonderful experience with stunning views of the Dubai Marina skyline and Ain Dubai. Great atmosphere at the upper deck – the marina view is fantastic. Very nice staff, friendly and attentive. Great food. Abundant and a lot of choices. It’s a great value for money. The experience was amazing!

The boat was a traditional wooden dhow, nice and exotic.. The complementary pick and drop is on a sharing basis, so expect to be in the bus for a little longer especially if you are staying in a hotel far from the Marina area. The food was great. Entertainment show and live music was spot on! Staff were efficient and amazing . We had a great time.

What a fantastic experience. I’ve been experience many other dhow cruises but this one is surely stands out. It’s worth every money! I loved how they entertained the guests after dinner (when everyone is feeling lazy and full ) with live music and open the floor for everyone to dance. It was fantastic!

Wonderful cruise dinner experience. Food is available for both vegetarian and non- vegetarian which is good for me. I’m vegan! Nice view of Marina at night. Great hospitality. Highly recommended

A lovely night to begin with. Pick up wan on the dot. And although, the driver went to other hotels to pick other guest, the ride was pleasant. We boarded the Dhow at 8:00 pm and cruising starts at 8:30. The beauty of Dubai marina at night was splendid. Music played and you just lost in the mood. The dinner was nice and it’s plenty. Complimentary beverages like water, soft drinks and juice are available too. We were entertained by a tanura dance after dinner. The dancer was great! I’m giving 5 star for this because it is worth the money I paid for. Dinner. Cruising. Entertainment. Transfers. It’s a full package!

A nice way to spend some quality time with your partner. Elegant atmosphere accompanied by soft nice music. Breathtaking view of Dubai Marina and the newly opened Ain Dubai. Quite a good selection of food.. Value for money and it’s really a nice experience on board the dinner cruise

The trip was awesome and the pick up and drop off is included! We have our own table and it’s arranged separately observing COVID protocols. Food was available in a buffet with plenty of selections of dishes including desserts. It was very good. Different drinks are offered to us from time to time.. Light music gives you a great mood. It’s a nice idea to spend the evening with your family, friends and your significant other! It is indeed a relaxing evening

We booked with Saifco the cruise dinner. Perfectly lit Marina area made it more amazing to see. Entertainment shows were nice to see. Dinner was amazing. Weather was also nice. Cold breeze. Overall a wonderful experience

Romantic trip. Night lights make it more amazing. Food was good and shows were also very nice to watch. Recommended to couples

I would happily give this trip a 10/10. As a solo traveller I was not expecting much fun but marina cruise made it a wonderful night for me. Mostly on the cruise were family and couples but I indeed enjoyed the trip. Lights on the cruise and marina lit up with own lights made it amazing to see at night. Loved it. Even you are a solo traveller. Must try it once

<p>Nice marina evening views but boat left late and trip too long for a hot uncomfortable weather. Better walk the marina at night instead.</p> <p>Food substandard. Hotel pickup was appreciated</p>

<p>I'd say its brilliant night out. I was contacted by a friendly staff and advised regarding the pickup timing and even even informed about the tour program. I didn't wait any extra minute as the driver came earlier then he went to pick up other guests too. <br/> The cruising was enjoyable. The views of the harbor are fantastic. Buildings illuminated by the lights and water are exhilarating.. <br/> The food was great even the entertainment was awesome! Overall were a 4 hours worth and a good value of what I paid for. Recommendable!!!</p>

<p>The view at night of the buildings and lights was amazing. Dubai Marina at night were incredible and I don't think there would be any other way to view them unless you owned a boat of your own. The cruise starts in the marina and sails along the entire area. A wonderful sightseeing of the new Dubai city with all the amazing building at a glance from a traditional Boat. It's very welcoming and wonderful definitely will recommend this to anyone.</p> <p> Reasonable price for the cruise made it worthwhile. The pick up was on time so we had time to admire the city while we relax and waited for other guest. The buffet food was good and service and staff were helpful / friendly. Our visit in Dubai was worthwhile.</p>

<p>It was a nice complete dinner. The views were great. We were picked up an hour late after kind of like an after thought. On the return we were sent back with another guide who went totally opposite direction than our hotel and dropped us off last. Needless to say we were not happy with the pick up and drop off.</p>

<p>Really looked forward to this but very disappointed<br/> Late pick up to start think they forgot about us On board the staff were very polite and served us with water and then soft drinks. They gave us some cold chicken starter which none of us ate as the chicken looked like it had seen better days. We were all not looking forward to the buffet dinner.<br/> To our surprise dinner was good a selection of Indian food which we all liked.<br/> The entertainment that was promised never happened. We were returned to the dock 1/2 hr early.<br/> All in this trip was not worth the money we paid at all and we certainly would not do this again if in Dubai. For a few Dirhams you can look round the harbour on a boat and have something to eat in one of the many restaurants that are in the Marina.</p>

Muy mala la calidad de la comida, poco variada, las bebidas eran de maquina y el postre apenas una torta de chocolate y unas donas en mal estado. Con mi madre amanecimos enfermas del estómago y con nauseas. Intente reclamar mi dinero de vuelta y fue negado. No lo recomiendo.
