Before you book
Marina or Creek — which cruise is better?
The Marina cruise is modern Dubai: towers, lights and Ain Dubai. The Creek cruise is old Dubai, quieter and more traditional. First-time visitors usually prefer the Marina; if you want the heritage side, ask us about the Creek dhow.
Is the boat suitable for wheelchairs or prams?
The lower deck is level and reachable, but the stairs to the open upper deck are steep. Tell us before booking and we will reserve a table on the lower deck.
Does it sail if it rains?
Light rain is not a problem — the lower deck is enclosed and air-conditioned. Cruises are only cancelled in unsafe conditions, and then we move or refund the booking.
