Boat tours and cruises: Frequently asked questions

What should I wear on a boat tour or cruise?

You should wear comfortable clothing on your Dubai boat tour. However, some providers may require a modest dress code, so it’s always best to check when booking. Whatever the case, wear something you’ll feel comfortable and cool in for the duration of your trip.

What should I bring on the boat tour?

You should bring plenty of sun protection on your Dubai Marina boat tour. For example, sun cream, sunglasses, a hat and a light shirt or jacket to protect your shoulders. Check if your tour includes food and drink. If not, you might want to bring your own. It’s also a good idea to store any electronics in a waterproof bag – just in case.

Is Dubai Marina worth a visit?

Absolutely! The Dubai Marina is where most boat tours start and end, as it makes up most of the city’s shoreline. As you cruise along the Marina, you’ll be able to see many of Dubai’s top attractions. Look out for the Palm Jumeirah, Burj Al Arb and the Ain Wheel. It’s the perfect place to see the skyline at its best and take some amazing photos.

What other things can you do in Dubai other than boat tours and cruises?

There’s plenty to see and do in Dubai – whether you’re sticking to the city or exploring places further afield. A desert dune buggy ride is a popular experience for visitors looking for an extra thrill. In the city itself, you can venture to the top of the tallest building in the world, the Burj Khalifa. For an all-around experience, you could also take a city tour to discover some of Dubai’s best attractions.
