  2. Which are the best places for boat trips in Dubai?

    1. Dubai Coastline: The panoramic view from the Dubai coastline is the best throughout the city, thanks to the stylish skyline and skyscrapers in the background. The speed limit on the Dubai coastline is higher compared to other smaller waterways such Dubai Creek or the Marina. Due to this reason boating in Dubai on the coastline tends to cover a longer distance in the tours. Visitors can enjoy the view of several iconic landmarks, including Downtown Dubai, the Burj Al Arab, the Dubai Marina, and Atlantis on The Palm.

    2. Dubai Marina
    Nestled in the vicinity of the base of Palm Jumeirah, the Dubai Marina is roughly 25 minutes west of Downtown. Most people believe Dubai Marina to be a collection of just docks and vessels, but in reality it is a stunning residential zone that is surrounded by big buildings and high-rise restaurants. All of these luxurious structures encircle a large channel of water in the centre. Tourists who are looking for a more relaxing experience of boating in Dubai should definitely take a tour around this beautiful location. Also Book Dhow Cruise Dinner Dubai

    3. Dubai Creek
    Boats inside the Dubai Creek, similar to those in the Dubai Marina, are not permitted to travel faster than 13 km/h (8 mph). The types of boats used for tours and rides at Dubai Creek are very similar to those available at the Marina, however Dhow rides are far more popular than yachts at this particular spot. Tourists looking forward to exploring the older and more historical areas of Dubai, find Dubai Creek a fascinating place to visit. A wonderful Dubai Boating experience is incomplete without a Dhow Dinner cruise in the Dubai Creek as the whole coast lights up at night. Click Here To Book Dhow Cruise Dubai Creek
