Insider Tips for a Smooth Cruise Night!

A little bit of planning goes a long way to making your evening perfect:

• Be Early: Try to get there 15–20 minutes ahead of time - It makes checking in way easier.
• The Best Seat: Definitely try to snag a spot on the upper deck! You get the best photos and the coolest breeze.
• Stay Comfy: Bring a light jacket or shawl with you, especially if you're coming in the winter. It can get breezy up top!
• Photo Prep: Make sure your phone is charged! The skyline shots here are seriously incredible.
• Travel Light: Leave the huge bags at the hotel. Dhows have limited space, so a small bag is best.

Getting to the Marina

• Driving: Parking is available near the Promenade, JBR, and Marina Mall (just follow the signs for dhow cruise boarding).
• Taxi: Super easy! Just tell the driver “Dubai Marina Dhow Cruise,” and they’ll get you close to the departure point.
