What cruises and sea excursions are available to tourists?
Sea cruises offer a new perspective on Dubai. I went on an evening cruise through Dubai Marina on a traditional dhow boat. The city lights reflected in the water, creating a magical atmosphere. Dinner on board with local cuisine and live music made the evening unforgettable. For those seeking luxury, yacht rentals are available, allowing you to explore the coast, see the Palm Jumeirah, and Burj Al Arab from the sea. Cruises to Bluewaters Island, home to Ain Dubai, the world’s largest observation wheel, are also popular. Deep-sea fishing and water sports complete the list of water-based entertainment.
