Dhow Trip at Dubai Marina

February 10, 2009

Our weekends in December and January were jam-packed with activities.  Partly because my sister was staying in town for a month and partly because I felt that I needed to have more activities.  I’d already listed several things including go karting, paintball, airsoft, hot air balloon, desert safari, quad bike safari, scuba diving, etc, etc.

 

Anyway these pictures were taken on a Dhow, a traditional Arabian boat.  There’s a lot of places where you can go on a Dhow but this one specifically starts from the Dubai Marina, goes out into the ocean just outside one of the fronds of the Palm Jumeirah and then back.  It takes about 45 minutes to an hour and costs about 30 dirhams per person, I think.

 

You don’t really do anything but sit down and have a few drinks.  For the price, it’s something I would actually recommend if you’re just looking to pass the time and relax.  Would have been great if they had sheisha on board.  The Dhow trips on the Dubai Creek may be more worthwhile though if you want to actually see something other than buildings and water.  There’re also night trips which cost about 150 AED and come with a full dinner.

Instant is good, no seizing the moment is sad.
