Savor a unique 1-hour cruise aboard a traditional abra, reminiscent of an old wooden water taxi that blends elements of both raft and deck boat. This intimate vessel accommodates approximately 20 passengers at once.

Located in the heart of Dubai, your journey along the Dubai Canal will reveal its role as a natural divider between historic Deira and Bur Dubai on one side—areas known for their long-standing commercial activity—and the city's iconic modern skyscrapers on the other. Located centrally within the United Arab Emirates' bustling metropolis, this canal is an essential part of Dubai’s landscape.

For those interested in experiencing local culture, consider upgrading with the optional Emirati high tea package aboard your abra ride. This delightful addition includes traditional snacks such as chebab, khan faroush, vegetable samboosa, and duqan legemat for a taste of authentic Dubai cuisine.

Highlights Along Your Journey

Your cruise will offer glimpses of notable landmarks including the Astonishing Fountain Show at Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, Historic Dhow Building Yard in Jadaf Dubai, and the sleek structures of the Contemporary District's Dubai Design District. Other sights include Business Bay’s Central Business District, Downtown Dubai as the Centre of Now, Burj Khalifa—the world's tallest tower—and Al Habtoor City with its renowned W Hotel & Westin Hotel. The cruise also showcases the stunningly lit bridges that grace the canal.
