7.Marina Premium Dinner Cruise with Unlimited Drinks

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 254 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $59

Cruise Dubai Marina for 1.5 hours with a fresh BBQ buffet, unlimited soft drinks, onboard music, live entertainment, and views of JBR, Ain Dubai, and Palm Jumeirah. Choose hotel pickup for added ease. Alcohol is available to purchase for those aged 21 and over.

“The Communication from the tour provider was good. They picked us up on time and dropped us back to our accommodation. The food was ok but wasn’t as good as I was expecting from the information in the description. The description of the tour says 8:00pm but the boat doesn’t actually depart until 9:00pm so we sat on the deck in the heat for just over an hour waiting for other guests to arrive. I also thought 250 aed for a bottle of wine that retails for 25 aed was very expensive. I’m not sure I’d do this trip again.”
