Guest Reviews
A lovely cultural evening on Dubai Creek. The buffet had great variety, the Tanoura show was mesmerising, and seeing the Al Fahidi wind towers was special. Highly recommend.
Perfect way to see Old Dubai. The welcome with Arabic coffee and dates was a lovely touch, and the Creek looks magical at night. Great value for money.
Booked for our group and the hotel transfer made it so easy. The food was tasty and the souks along the Creek were beautiful. Wonderful experience.
A relaxing Creek cruise with a nice cultural feel. The kids loved the Tanoura dancer and we enjoyed the views of the Deira Clocktower. A great intro to Old Dubai.
