Difference Between Dhow Cruise Marina and Dhow Cruise Creek

Dubai offers different experiences of dinner dhow cruises. The most famous of them are Marina Cruise and Dubai Creek Cruise. One gets you into the ultra-modern world, and the other takes you to the heritage Dubai.

Dhow Cruise Marina is all about the latest and the most famous manmade canal and the tall skyscrapers along the canal. It is where the rich and famous of Dubai come for all their leisure activities. This cruise will take you on a round trip to the iconic coastline of Dubai Marina and the Blue Waters development before easing into the Arabian Sea for a short while. Dinner cruise Marina is a premium dinner cruise as it is also a time travel to how Dubai developed itself into the world's favorite tourist destination.

The Dhow cruise on the creek is a time travel backward when Dubai was a trading hub. Life was simple, with Dubai spread on either side of the Dubai creek. One side was called Bur Dubai; the other was called Deira Dubai. When you take a Dhow Cruise Dubai, you will sail through iconic old-world buildings like Dubai Souk, the Heritage Village, and the Maktoum Bridge, once known as Dubai's lifeline. You will also see old water taxis or Abras jostling with new water taxis. These water taxis ferry people across the old districts of Dubai. Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek is more budget-friendly, while both are great for a family outing.

Difference Between Marina Dhow Cruise and Creek Dhow Cruise

The Dubai Marina district is an ultra-modern waterfront development on either side of the manmade Marina Canal, consisting of numerous sky-embracing skyscrapers. When you come to Dubai Marina for your dinner cruise, it is but natural to be mesmerized by the massiveness and modernity of the whole place. Your Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina will be on the Marina Canal, snakes through these beautiful buildings that jostle up with each other to attract your attention. The cruise will also take you fairly close to the iconic Atlantis Hotel on Palm Dubai. You would also be able to see Burj Al Arab far away. The Dinner Dhow cruise Marina is a premium trip to the Marina and the nearby developments, such as the Bluewaters and Ain Dubai. During the early rise of Dubai Tourism, the Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek was one of the most fun-filled activities that drew most tourists. It is still trendy as it takes you through Deira Creek, which was once the trade and tourism hub. The Dubai Dhow Cruise is a round trip to landmarks like the Heritage Village, Sheik Maktoum Bridge, The Dubai Museum, and many buildings on the other side like the Dubai Economic and Tourism Department building, Dubai Chambers of Commerce building, and the Twin Towers. You would also see water taxis and boats that are still helping trade to Iran. The main difference is that Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek is more budget friendly as it is focused on an old Dubai tour, whereas the Dubai Marina cruise is a premium tour package. You may choose either and experience the difference yourself.

A “ Dhow ” is a traditional wooden vessel that is common in the  Middle East  and has been used historically for a variety of purposes, primarily for trading.

Dhows are made in a variety of sizes and in the  UAE  have been most used for trade between UAE and Iran aswell as for  pearl diving .

Over the last decade the demand for dhows has gone down and has been replaced by more modern vessels.

Nonetheless, Dhows have played a cruicial role in the history and evolution of the gulf and are iconic as a mode of sea transportation.

In the last couple of decades, a lot of the ‘Dhows’ have been repurposed for tourism purposes, one of them being dhow cruise dinners.

A  Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina  is a nice concept. Read on.

In the 90’s, some entrepreneurs began converting the larger dhows that were traditionally used for trading into refurbished floating restaurants that would operate dinner cruises in the  Dubai Creek .

That segment has grown and over many years has evolved into a rather important and iconic type of tourist attraction in  Dubai .

Starting with only handful of Dhows in early 90’s the segment has grown into over 30 dhows in the Creek and 8 in Dubai Marina.

One the elements of the Dhow Cruise ‘culture’ has been to have live entertainment onboard in a variety of forms.

Originally, belly dancing was most common, but with time, Dubai Government has been eliminating this form of entertainment and has now been almost entirely replaced by ‘Tanura’ – a traditionally Turksih dance that is usually performed by a male dancer that is spinning in a flowing and elaborately decorated dress, creating a very interesting sight.

The dinner cruise in Dubai Marina as a concept began in 2010 with some operators bringing the dhow boats to Dubai Marina and operating floating restaurants. The Dhow Cruise Marina attraction began gaining momentum and popularity and currently is a household product among inbound tour operators in Dubai.

Today, the dinner cruise in Dubai Marina is considered to be a much more upscale option that any other area in Dubai.

DINNER ONBOARD A  DHOW CRUISE IN DUBAI MARINA

As always, with the opening of Dubai Marina as a new area and tourist destination, there was room for starting new  business  ventures.

Alexandra was one of the first boats that began its operations as far back as 2009.

Now there are around 7 boats that operate in Dubai Marina.

So what is the difference between a Dhow Cruise in Dubai Marina versus a Dhow Cruise in Dubai Creek?

Well, this  article  will give you a very detailed answer, but funadmentally – the main difference is location.

Dubai Creek is the old part of town, and Dubai Marina is a new area in Dubai.

Fundamentally, that is the only difference, and the difference then lies in the actual operators of each boats. There are many good boats in Dubai Creek and some in Dubai Marina.

It must be noted however that Dubai Marina has MUCH less boats 8 versus more than 25 in the Creek.

As a rule of thumb, the quality of operators in Dubai Marina on average is higher, due to the the higher parking fees and the need to compensate by attracting a higher quality clientele.

DINNER CRUISE DUBAI

A dinner cruise generally is a great combination of dinner and cruising, but a cruise dinner in Dubai Marina is a particular excellent fusion

MARINA CRUISE DUBAI

A dinner cruise in Dubai Marina is an excellent way to combine a sightseeing experience with a dining experience.

We try our best onboard Alexandra to make it a pleasant one and entertain you with our live performers and meticilous approach to food.

There are several pickup spots available in Dubai for those who wish to avail the transfer facilities to and from their hotels.

What to Wear

  • Wear comfortable clothing that allows you to move and breathe in Dubai’s warm and humid weather. Pack in some layers as it can get chilly in the air-conditioned Dhow cruise as well as during the evening hours.
  • Strap on a comfortable pair of shoes as you would want to explore the deck and admire the views around. Avoid wearing heels and opt for flats or sneakers.
  • If you have booked an indoor Dhow cruise experience, it is advised that you dress in formals like long skirts, pants, collared shirts or blouses to match the occasion.
  • It is recommended that you check with your Dubai Marina cruise operator if there are any specific dress code requirements while travelling onboard the cruise.

Best Time to Go

Dubai Marina Dhow Cruise, with services provided from early mornings to late evenings, has different breathtaking experiences on offer for you and your loved ones at different times of the day.

If you wish to admire the iconic city’s architectural wonders, the best time to go for the cruise would be in the early morning hours when the sunlight seems pleasant. For those wishing to indulge in the magic of sunsets and moonlit night skies of Dubai, evening cruises are a better option. Evening cruises on the Marina are also recommended if you seek a few hours of good dining and live entertainment. Afternoon Dhow cruises are not advisable as the sun is harsh during those hours, which would hamper your fun experience.

Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina Tips

  • It is best to reach the Marina at least 30 minutes prior to your cruise timings to avoid unnecessary delays
  • Guests are advised to avoid overlooking from the deck to ensure their safety
