A ‘Dhow’ is a traditional Arabic vessel that has been used in the region in recent history as a fishing, transportation and pearl diving based vessel. In recent times, many Dhows have been refurbished into ‘floating restaurants’, i.e.: vessels that have seating capacity that take onboard guests for Cruises, usually with an Buffet Style dinner and some form of live show. Dubai Marina is a new place in Dubai, an ultra modern place with variety of apartments, restaurants, yachts, boats and a generally great vibe. Over the years it has become a culture of its own, and now the Dhow Cruise Dinner has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in the city. It’s a perfect combination of both a cruising and a dining experience which allows visitors to both get a unique view of the city sky-line from the water as well as to have dinner and enjoy an entertainment program as well. Enjoying Dinner Cruises in Dubai Marina have gradually become a part of the culture and now are part of the standard Things to Do in Dubai. Dinner Cruises have been operated in the Creek, but with the opening of Dubai Marina, this tradition quickly linked and transferred over to this part of town.
