Overview

A Dubai Marina Cruise is the city's most relaxed evening on the water. Aboard a traditional wooden dhow or a modern yacht, you'll glide through the illuminated Marina canal, passing gleaming towers and superyachts as the skyline reflects on the water.

Dinner is an international buffet served on board, with live entertainment and open-deck seating to soak up the views. It's a calm, romantic counterpoint to the adrenaline of the desert.
