Moreover, what could be better than the United Arab Emirates where you can be a part of Arab culture by stepping into sands of time?

If you really want to explore Dubai at its best, then a traditional Dhow or Abra cruise is a must. Not a mere transport vehicle to cross over the creek, you could use it as a gateway to get a picturesque view of the Dubai skyline and access major tourist hot spots in Old as well as New Dubai. About 150 Dhow cruises wave the waters of the creek daily until midnight offering various packages for couples and families including lunch/dinners and live entertainment. Getting to know Dubai in an Arabian style is a dream to be lived.

Guests are pampered with five star hotel luxuries, cocktail parties at the deck, royal treatments at the Spa, open-air swimming pool, Jacuzzi, international buffet spread, and stops at tourist spots across Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Al-Fujairah and Oman for sightseeing and shopping.

Get transformed into another world altogether when you arrive at the deck during nighttime for sky gazing under the shimmering moonlight. You will get to remember Dubai not only for its amazing architectural splendors but also for the marvelous cruise experience.
