Relaxing Dinner Buffet

Richard_H, Jun 2023

Was alone was nice to relax and see the river at night and some sights food was traditional and nice for a buffet. Staff friendly could have been a bit more entertaining as belly dancers or but was nice what they had.

Tourism trap

CarlMarie_G, May 2023

Music was over 87db couldn't have a conversation at the table. Air conditioning unit was next to seat therefore hot air was blowing whilst eating. The only enjoyable moment was the driver (Zen) which was so kind.

Good time had by the group

Jaquetta_T, Sep 2022

The Dhow cruise was exactly as advertised. Our pick up driver was very communicative prior to pick up. He drove very safely to get us to the marina. Once at the marina, we took individual and group photos purchased later. Pics were of professional quality. Dinner was decent. But the butter chicken was amazing! The menu was typical of the food I was offered in Dubai as the area has a strong Indian influence.

Food was not for...

Bobbie_M, Feb 2022

Food was not for different cultures. Mostly Indian cuisine. Thought it would be different varieties of choices

Dissapointing

Marina_M, Dec 2021

we booked the Dhow Dinner cruise for 15th of December , on 14th of December tour operator DAYTUR DUBAI sent me the message on whats app, that they can provide us different tour (Marina dinner cruise) of highest quality ,but we have to pay extra 80 USD. I found this tour on Viator site and the cost was the same that we already paid. DAYTUR answered that they will provide different better tour. When we got aboard the ship we found out that this was the same tour that we mentioned to them!! Food was so so, we had to pay extra for wine and also were waiting for hotel pick up for 45 minutes! I sent the request to DAYTUR with question why we had to pay 80 USD EXTRA? The answer was - TRANSPORTATION. I doubt that the transportation by bus, that pick up tourists from all the hotels cost so much. even the taxi there is cheaper! so DAYTUR was cheating trying to get more people on the same tour. I always use VIATOR for all my trips and this experience was dissappointing..

Excellent and enjoyable evening

Kemal_M, Aug 2021

What a lovely evening. Good communication by the host. Well organised and delicious food Staff polite.

Excellent

Margerie_M, Jun 2021

Highly recommended. It’s an experience that will always be remembered. From the moment of picked up from the hotel to the venue and back to the hotel. The staff and service is excellent in Dhow cruise and the food is great. Our guide Mohammed is very informative. This is very worthy of your time and expense.

Excellent service

Mfuta_K, Mar 2019

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this to others. The crew were polite and hospitable, food was great, music and whole cruise above average.

I felt this evening dhow dinner...

kevin m, Oct 2017

I felt this evening dhow dinner cruise was ok , because of the traffic in Dubai it took nearly one hour to reach where the boat departed from the cruise itself was quite good , just a pity there is no commentary on board to point out all the famous landmarks we were passing food was amazing with loads to choose from , and plenty to eat , the entertainment on board was very good if you have a few hours spare one evening while in Dubai , then this is worth doing

The trip was not really spectacular...

ARTHUR M, Apr 2017

The trip was not really spectacular in that there was NO commentary on the places that we passed by. It would have been great to have been able to identify some of the landmarks. Overall it was OK ! One suggestion is to stop advertising that alcohol was available on the cruise ! Apparently, NONE of the tours sold any alcohol, NOT that one must have alcohol to enjoy any trip BUT being able to enjoy a glass of wine or beer during dinner and after a hot and humid day would have been great.

A fuir...

farida_B, Dec 2022

La réalité ne correspond en rien à la description sur le site. Excepté la prise en charge A/R à l'hôtel qui s'est très bien passée (le chauffeur était vraiment professionnel , très à l'heure), la croisière est une arnaque : partis avec 40mn de retard sans aucune explications, le bateau à fait demi-tour avant d'être allé au nord de la crique nous privant de la vue sur les souk. le buffet décrit comme "émirati et international" se résume à 3 plats indiens quelconques et à une salade de fruits en boîte en dessert.

Schöner Abend

Christian S, Jun 2019

Abholung erfolgte realtiv pünktlich. Der Service auf den Boot war sehr gut. Die Auswahl der Gerichte war relativ gut, jedoch war das Essen lauwarm ,aufgrund der Örtlichkeit. Dies ist keine Kritik, sondern nur eine Festellung.
