‘Luxury, the name is Marina.’ Does it sound like an overstatement? It won’t if you take a trip on a dhow cruise to Dubai Marina. You can’t imagine a better way to perceive the beauty of the Marina Canal than cruising on a Dhow.
The Dhow is a traditional Arabic boat sophisticated enough to offer a premium experience to guests. The two-hour cruise will sail across Dubai Marina, a wonderful man-made canal built in the Venetian style.
Dhow Cruise Marina will pass some of Dubai’s most stunning and opulent buildings and residential areas. Luxury is evident in even the most intricate details.
The journey begins at the Jumeirah Beach Residences (JBR), which consists of splendid waterfront apartments. It is one of the most sought-after residential areas in the city. The fantastic Marina water canal is flanked by walkways embellished with illuminated date palms.
The trip also covers a fantastic structure that tourists and residents eagerly wait to open—the Ain Dubai, which means Dubai’s eye. The giant observation wheel stands at 210 m, the tallest in the world. It is set to open in 2020, and after that, it will create a record as the highest observation wheel.
Ain Dubai stands on Bluewaters Island, next to Jumeirah Beach Residences beachfront, and will offer a 360-degree view of the Dubai skyline. Don’t miss Marina Mall, which lies in an outstanding waterfront location.
A trip on a dhow cruise is a treat to your eyes and tummy. The unique dining experience in the floating restaurant is a great delight. You will be welcomed aboard with tea, coffee, soft drinks, or an Arabic drink called Kahwa. Afterward, have a feast of Arabic and continental varieties arranged in a buffet style. Enjoy dinner while listening to relaxing music.
Live Tanoura Dance Show
Tanoura dance, an Egyptian folk dance, is the main highlight of the journey. It is a colorful treat as the dancer spins around wearing a multicolored skirt. The beautiful skirt makes spectacular patterns as they whirl. They also turn on the LED lights on their skirts, making them look marvelous in the dark.
You will be amazed to see the dancer spin continuously and still not feel any dizziness or discomfort. They will also invite the audience to perform.
Everyone will start loving nights when they are in Dubai. The illuminated cityscape will leave you amazed, and the city also becomes vibrant at night. Dhow Cruise Marina perfectly blends picturesque views, leisure, and toothsome food. Travel on a Dhow and glance at the city from a different perspective. So, plan a surprise dinner for your beloved, gift a fantastic night to your family, or have a bash with your friends. Make the night memorable for you and your loved ones.
