Our flagship evening on the Alexandra, a wooden dhow that has been a floating restaurant on Dubai Marina for over ten years. Dinner, a live show and the brightest skyline in the city — all in one sailing.
Overview
Pairing a sightseeing cruise with a proper dinner is one of the easiest ways to see Dubai Marina at its best, and the Alexandra has been doing exactly that for more than a decade. She is a traditional wooden dhow, carefully restored and fitted out as a floating restaurant, and her crew knows every turn of the marina.
The route shows off some of Dubai’s most famous waterfront views: the tower-lined marina channel, the twisting Cayan Tower, the JBR beachfront, Bluewaters Island with Ain Dubai, and the yachts of Dubai Harbour.
Dinner is a generous international buffet with a live BBQ grill, served throughout the sailing, and soft drinks, water, tea and coffee are included. The licensed bar serves beer, wine and spirits at an extra charge, and a live Tanoura show lights up the deck while you cruise.
Dinner, all evening (9:00 – 10:45 pm) — The buffet and the electric live BBQ grill stay open for the whole cruise, so there is no rush.
