Overall it was a great experience,  I will definitely be back .

Tkt experience was good.
Small good up from your end saying by telephone that we will co.e to pickup at certain time from the hotel that day.
After I told him we r on our own & we have not booked for pickup & he apologized.

Thanks.

It is awesome.

Also dinner on cruise was good. ( vegetarian options are available)
I will recommend this to everyone.

Ticketing experience with Headout was good , simple and genuine . Dhow cruise experience was nice with good ambience n staffs were very polite . We loved the dance performance 

Cruise along Dubai Marina on a classic wooden dhow. This 2-hour cruise has it all: sightseeing, dinner, and live entertainment.

Feast on an all-you-can-eat buffet with Asian delights, Indian curries, and desserts – the buffet's for everyone, veg or not!

See the Marina light up with sights like the Cayan Tower, Ain Dubai, and the posh yachts – all set against the backdrop of newly reclaimed islands  

This cruise ups the game with a live Tanoura dance on Arabic and Hindi tunes and a true Emirati welcome with drinks and dates.

Come early to claim your spot: open-air upper deck or air-conditioned lower deck. To make your trip smoother, consider adding hotel transfers.

Tip: For the best views, secure a spot near the railings of the Dhow. You'll get an unobstructed view of the marina and the city's landmarks.

From Dubai Marina: Dhow Cruise with Dinner & Live Entertainment

Crociera molto bella e cibo a buffet con grande varietà di alimenti. L'unica cosa che non mi è piaciuta è il giro fatto dalla nave con vista solo di ain Dubai (la ruota) e dei grattacieli di Dubai Marina. Pensavo arrivasse almeno fino all'atlantis per vedere di notte la parte più bella di Dubai, ma tutto sommato una bella esperienza 

Very nice cruise and buffet food with great variety of foods. The only thing I did not like was the tour taken from the ship with only a view of ain Dubai (the wheel) and the skyscrapers of Dubai Marina. I thought it went at least as far as the atlantis to see the most beautiful part of Dubai at night, but all in all a good experience

Everything. The staff, food, dancer and the whole atmosphere. Amazing 👏.  Will do it again when I visit Dubai the next time. 

C'était génial merci 🙏🏻 

L'ambiance était géniale 🙌 
L'équipe à bord était aux petits soins .

We reached the venue as informed in the ticket at 7 pm

The cruise started at 8:30 pm

We were made to wait from 7 pm till 8:30 pm this is not done

Once on the ship the experience was good

The timely response of the host shoaib was excellent, he ensured we are comfortable. We were given the corner seating on the top which was wonderful for a clear view of the skyline .

Shoaib ensured we were well taken care including the buffet . Thanks to shoaib and team in making this a memorable one .will definitely recommend this to friends and family .

Sail away on the Alexandra Dhow with the best seats, amazing food, and an unparalleled view of the fancy residences lining the Dubai Marina.

Enjoy a buffet spread featuring Indian and international options including sizzling hot koftas and kebabs fresh from the live grill stations.

Get a taste of Emirati culture with a live Tanura dance show that will surely mesmerize you with its colorful attire and graceful movements.

You get to pick your vibe: the open-air upper deck or the air-conditioned lower deck. And add hotel transfers to the mix if you want.

Round-trip hotel transfers (as per option selected)

Alcoholic beverages (at an additional cost)

A cake for a special occasion (at an additional cost)

From Dubai Marina: Alexandra Dhow Cruise with Dinner & Live Entertainment

Right from the management to the sumptuous food to the marina view on the dhow cruise, each and everything was immaculate and well taken care of.
A must do for everyone and without a doubt a highly recommended activity.



Marina area is good to explore in the night. 
Booking through Headout was good. 
Cruise dinner vegetarian option wasn't available much. 
Entertainment on the cruise wasn't meeting the expectation expectations. 
Hotel pick up and drop off coordination was good. 

It was mostly the cruise in the Marina area with dinner. Next time will choose different company. 

The best part of booking with Headout is the instant redward system which can be used for next booking. The experience and attraction booking price was competitive compared to other platform. Promotions and offers are quite useful in Headout.

The dhow cruise experience was amazing. Having dinner surrounded by glittering high rise buildings is an experience in itslef. The food was amazing too. Must try activity 

It was an excellent experience, guide was super friendly. Loved the whole experience of Desert Safari ❤️. Thanks for making it memorable 😊. Highly recommended 👍

From the modernized glass-enclosed dhow, admire the waterfall bridge (it's all lit up!) and Business Bay's high rises, with the Burj Khalifa stealing the show.

The centerpiece is the IMAGINE Show, with dancing fountains reaching for the sky, all while a live saxophonist sets the perfect mood.

Plus, there’s the convenient option of adding hotel transfers and house beverages to your cruise.
