However, the other cruises do provide dining options for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, like the Alexandra Dhow Cruise, the Glass Houseboat, and the Super-Yacht Cruise.
- If you are looking for a cruise option that fits your budget, the Sightseeing cruise (starting from AED 85) or the Speedboat cruise (starting from AED160) will be the right choice.
