Guest Reviews
An amazing experience with the Alexandra dhow cruise. A great place to unwind with family and friends. Shout out to the best Tanoura dancer in town and a kind photographer. Highly recommend.
Truly memorable! We got a great spot on the upper deck with perfect Marina skyline views, and even caught the Dubai Drone Show. The food was good and the pick-up service was seamless.
Great cruise around Dubai Marina, lovely to see the lit-up city. The staff were excellent, Imran looked after us well. Take a seat upstairs — the view is awesome. Arrive early.
We did this on our first night in Dubai and it was a wonderful intro to the city. We sailed past dazzling lights, the buffet was good and the entertainment was fun. Highly recommend.
