Drifting along Dubai Creek aboard a traditional wooden dhow as Deira's gold souq, spice souq and historic waterfront slide past on either side is one of the city's most timeless experiences. Two-hour evening cruises depart from the Deira dhow wharfage nightly, with a generous buffet of Arabic and international dishes, live music and the warm glow of the city reflected on the water below. The creek dhow experience is considerably more intimate and authentically historic than the Marina equivalent - you're gliding past actual trading heritage rather than superyachts and glass towers. An easy, romantic, crowd-pleasing choice.
