Tourists get a stunning view of the marina skyline along the 3.5-kilometer-long canal. For a two-hour cruise, you are treated with dinner and entertainment on board while you take in the invigorating vibe of this magnificent mini-city.

Marina cruise will start from the luxurious Jumeirah Beach Residences (JBR). They are luxurious waterfront apartments and one of the most loved residential areas in Dubai. See the iconic Marina Mall and the beautiful Bluewaters Island. Ain Dubai, the tallest observation wheel in the world, stands proudly on the Island waiting to be unveiled. It is the perfect chance to have a glance of the opulent lifestyle of Dubai which is admired all around the globe.

By cruising past the Dubai coast and out to the Persian Gulf where the impressive man-made islands spread out, yacht charters offer breathtaking views of some fine-looking beaches. Sailing around the Palm Jumeirah, guests are treated with splendid views of the iconic Burj Al Arab and the themed resort-hotel Atlantis, The Palm. You can fish on this spot.

Lastly, to see the heart of Dubai is to take a trip down the historic Dubai Creek. A cruise on board a dhow presents guests a view of nighttime Deira and Bur Dubai while feasting on authentic Emirati and international cuisine. Reflective of Old Dubai, the 14-kilometer Creek area has transformed from being a tiny pearling and fishing port in the past into a global trading hub.

Here you can see the lively souks and the busy Abras all delighting tourists and residents alike. Abra is a traditional boat which was used by the Arabs for trade. Now, it takes people across Creek. It is a simple and affordable option for people. Gold and spice souks are popular in Creek. People flock to this area to visit the Gold Souk to admire and buy some fine jewelry. Spice souk has some unique and good-quality spices.

Dubai Creek reflects the modest beginnings of Dubai and has some small buildings in contrast to the skyscrapers in the modern city. Everything in Creek will instill a nostalgic feel in you. Cruising along some great spots in Dubai will give you avid pictures of the city which you won’t get in other ways of travel.
