Overview

Welcome 2027 in unforgettable style aboard the New Year Eve dhow cruise Dubai Creek, a spectacular 3-hour celebration sailing the historic waters where the city of Dubai was born. As Dubai lights up for the world’s most famous New Year celebrations, this traditional wooden dhow offers the perfect front-row seat away from the crowds and traffic on land, with panoramic views of the illuminated skyline and the iconic Burj Khalifa.

Step aboard your handcrafted dhow at Al Seef and be welcomed with a refreshing drink as the festive evening begins. Glide gently along the Dubai Creek past the heritage districts of Deira, Bur Dubai and the beautifully restored Al Seef waterfront, all glowing under New Year lights. From the open-air upper deck or the air-conditioned lower deck, every seat offers a magical view of old Dubai on the biggest night of the year.

Enjoy a lavish 5-star international buffet dinner with a rich spread of Arabic, Indian, Continental and Asian dishes, prepared fresh with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options. As the celebration builds, a live Tanoura dance show and festive entertainment fill the deck, and a special New Year cake-cutting ceremony marks the countdown to midnight.

Then comes the highlight of the night as the clock strikes twelve, Dubai’s world-renowned New Year fireworks erupt across the sky, with clear views of the Burj Khalifa show as well as displays at Al Seef and Dubai Festival City. Perfect for families, couples and groups, the New Year Eve Creek cruise is the most memorable and best-value way to welcome 2027 on the water.
