Cruising the Dubai Creek is an Experience You Can’t Miss!
Looking for a relaxing way to spend an evening in Dubai? Taking a Dubai Creek Cruise is the perfect way to wind down after a day of sight seeing. The two hour cruise we took was on a traditional wooden dhow boat. Dhow boats are used for fishing and trading as well as dinner cruises. For the dinner cruise, we were treated to a buffet dinner, entertaining horse show, and beautiful views of the Dubai Creek. At night, the boats are illuminated with colorful lights to add to the experience. The Dubai Creek is located in the heart of Dubai and separates the two areas of Deira and Bur Dubai. On the Deira side of the Dubai Creek is the Gold Souk. On the Bur Dubai side of the Creek is the textile souks. Abra boats (water taxis) are constantly taking people across the Creek from one side to the other. We definitely enjoyed our trip aboard the Aisha dhow boat.
Insane Views of DUBAI from a HELICOPTER
We took to the skies in a helicopter to to see Dubai’s iconic landmarks from above. The sights we saw on the helicopter ride included: Burj Khalifa (the world’s tallest building), Burj al Arab (Dubai’s most iconic hotel), Palm Jumeriah (artificial archipelago in the shape of a palm tree), Atlantis The Palm (luxury hotel resort on the Palm Jumeriah), Mall of the Emirates (shopping mall), and Ski Dubai (indoor ski resort and snow park inside Mall of the Emirates). We opted for the 12 minute aerial scenic tour. It went by way too fast, but it was such a memorable experience!
