Itinerary
Upon arrival at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and after clearing immigration and baggage claim, meet and greet our Greenlimon Holidays representative in the arrival hall. You will then be transferred to the hotel.
Note: Standard check-in time at the hotel is 15:00 hrs.
After check-in, spend some time at leisure. In the evening, enjoy a Dhow Cruise along historic Dubai Creek, where stunning views of old and new Dubai come together. A Dhow Cruise is a traditional Arabian wooden boat offering a 90-minute cultural and luxury experience at Dubai Creek. Enjoy a welcome drink, an international buffet dinner with vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, and unlimited refreshments.
Difference b/w Creek Dhow Cruise & Marina Dhow Cruise
Dubai Creek is the older part of the city, where early Arab settlers built their homes after moving from desert villages.
In contrast, Dubai Marina lies in the modern part of the city, featuring a man-made canal, high-rise buildings, luxury hotels, and trendy cafes.
While both Dhow Cruises offer great food and a five-star ambience, their views differ. The Creek Cruise provides glimpses of old Dubai, including the Promenade and the historic Bastakiya region. Meanwhile, the Marina Cruise sails past iconic modern landmarks, showcasing the city’s futuristic skyline. Either way, you’re sure to enjoy the experience.
Timing & Best Season for Dhow Cruise
Dhow Cruises operate daily from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, while dinner cruises run from 7:00 PM to 10:00 PM, lasting about 2 hours. It’s a perfect outing for couples or families. Cruises are available year-round, but the winter months offer the most pleasant weather for a relaxing experience.
