The story

A dhow is the old wooden trading boat of the Gulf, and the dinner cruise is its second career: a slow loop on calm water with the city lights on one side and the dark of the sea on the other. The operator's Abu Dhabi version runs along the Corniche in the evening for about two hours, with a buffet dinner served on board.

What it feels like: unhurried. You board as the sky goes from orange to navy, the engine is a low thrum, and the breeze off the water is the coolest air you will feel all day in the warm months. The Corniche towers slide past lit from the ground up; the dhow's own lights catch the polished wood and the brass. Dinner is a buffet, eaten at tables on the open or covered deck, and nobody is in a rush. It is the evening Ahmedabad families with grandparents pick when the rest of the trip has been theme parks and long queues.

Who this suits, and why: active seniors and those with mobility limits, because it is a seated, gentle evening with no walking once you are on board (there is a gangway to manage at boarding); the multigenerational group, because every age is happy at the same table; and couples who want a quiet dinner with a view. Friends groups usually prefer the livelier yacht cruises or the desert; this one is calm by design.

What happens on board

Boarding time and point are confirmed for your date.

  1. Collection from your Abu Dhabi hotel in the evening by shared vehicle. Cruise-only guests make their own way to the boarding point named on the operator's voucher.

  2. Board the dhow at the marina or jetty named on your voucher a little before departure; there is a short gangway.

  3. About two hours cruising along the Corniche with the skyline lit up, and the buffet dinner served on board.

  4. Back at the jetty; transfer guests are driven to their hotel. Cruise-only guests return on their own.

Know before you go

  • Departure time, the boarding point and the menu are stated on the operator's voucher, not on the sheet; your captain confirms them before you pay. Do not plan around a time until then.
  • The water inside the Corniche is usually calm, but it is still a boat: anyone prone to seasickness should sit low and central and take a tablet beforehand if they use them.
  • Boarding is over a gangway with a step; wheelchair users and anyone unsteady on their feet should tell the captain so the operator can advise on the boat for that date.
  • Vegetarian dishes are usual on a Gulf buffet; Jain food is not. Ask your captain to check with the operator for your date.
  • From November to March the breeze on deck is cool after dark; carry a light layer. In summer the open deck is warm until late.
  • Dress is smart casual; there is no formal dress code, but covered shoulders and knees are courteous on a family boat.
  • Availability and the departure time are confirmed by the operator when your captain books; a booking can be declined by the supplier for a price change, allocation or stop-sale.
  • Prices are per person in INR. GST and TCS on international bookings are shown in your written quote.
