There’s a certain magic to watching the year turn over from the water, and that’s exactly what this cruise offers. Set sail along Dubai Creek aboard a classic dhow, with dinner, live entertainment, and the city’s glittering waterfront as your backdrop.

Boarding starts at 9 PM and runs until 9:45 PM at Al Seef in Bur Dubai, so there’s time to settle in before the dhow pushes off. You’ll be on the water from 10 PM to 1 AM — a solid three hours to enjoy the evening at a relaxed pace.

Dinner is a generous international buffet with both vegetarian and non-vegetarian options, so everyone’s covered. As midnight approaches, the excitement builds, and if you’ve booked a ticket with open upper-deck access, you’ll get an unobstructed view of the fireworks lighting up the sky right from your seat on the water.
The boat starts from Al Seef, Bur Dubai. Go out for the countdown on Dubai Creek with NewYearCelebrationDubai.
