Dubai Creek has a certain old-world charm that makes it one of the more unique places to spend New Year's Eve in the city, and DubaiNewYearCruise's dhow cruise makes the most of it. Guests board a traditional dhow near Al Seef in the evening and set off on a multi-hour cruise past the Creek's historic waterfront, a refreshing change from the usual glass-and-steel skyline most NYE events revolve around. Onboard, a full international buffet dinner is served, with variety enough to suit most preferences, while live tanoura dancers and music keep the evening lively from start to finish. As the countdown to midnight begins, guests are treated to a New Year's cake and a glass of fruit champagne, then watch fireworks fill the sky right above the Creek. It's a well-rounded NYE option, festive enough to feel like a real celebration, but calm enough to suit families, couples, and groups who'd rather skip the chaos of bigger events. DubaiNewYearCruise includes hotel transfers in the package, and booking early is strongly advised given how quickly this cruise fills up each year.
