Dubai Marina Dhow Dinner Cruise with Private Lexus or Mercedes Transfers
Glide through Dubai Marina on a traditional dhow with private Lexus or Mercedes transfers, a 90-minute cruise, international buffet, and live entertainment. Ideal for sunset photos, accessible boarding, and a relaxed evening on the water.
The Experience
Before You Go
Choose Your Deck
Upper deck offers unobstructed skyline views and cooler breeze; lower deck is air-conditioned and steadier if you’re prone to seasickness.
Book Sunset for Photos
Schedule the cruise to depart about 30–45 minutes before sunset for the best light on the skyscrapers and water reflections.
Bring a Light Layer
Even in warm months, wind on the open deck can feel cool after dusk; a light jacket or shawl is useful.
Respect Local Dress Customs
Casual is fine but maintain modesty when moving through public Marina areas—cover shoulders and knees if visiting nearby promenades.

Conservation Note
Because the Marina is built on reclaimed land, operators emphasize minimizing waste and using designated disposal points; avoid feeding birds and dispose of single-use plastics responsibly.
Dubai Marina is a large-scale reclaimed waterfront developed starting in the early 2000s; the project transformed coastal sediments into a planned urban canal framed by high-rise towers.
