A Dhow ride along the famous Dubai Creek is not an opportunity to be missed, when you’re visiting the Middle East. If you wonder what a Dhow is, it is an old fashioned boat that you can use to criss-cross this far-famed brook cutting through the heart of Middle East. If you wish to feel this marvellous experience, consider to visit Anantara Sir Bani Yas Island Al Yamm Villa Resort, Abu Dhabi as well. It would add value to your long-awaited vacation with plenty of activities to engage in while enjoying the luxuries of 5 star hotels in Abu Dhabi.
A ride aboard a traditional Dhow allows you to observe the city of Dubai in various perspectives. You have the opportunity to select from morning dhow rides, sun-down dhow rides; romantic dhow rides to dinner dhow rides that would last approximately for one hour. On whichever ride you decide to engage in, you are bound to observe many historical and modern sights in Dubai in a very natural light.
While riding along the creek, you will be able to witness some great establishments lined up such as Sheraton Dubai Creek, Chamber of Commerce, Dubai Creek Tower, Deira Twin Towers and the National Bank. You will also be able to have a glimpse of the trading heritage of Dubai which still takes place on the banks of the Creek. It’s a fascinating sight to observe the never-ending hustle and bustle of traders trying to load and unload different goods.
Moreover, you can also enjoy delicious meals on board if you opt for it. The local tastes are the best to compliment the ride while listening to historical records played onboard. When taking in the eye-popping sights, do not forget to enjoy the wonderful breeze. It would be ideal if you can engage in a dhow ride during the sunset.
