Float into the New Year aboard a traditional dhow with Visit Dhow Cruise Dubai’s Creek New Year Party — set against the backdrop of old Dubai’s riverine landscape. The boat departs after boarding around 9 PM and navigates the calm waters of Deira Creek until 1 AM.

Your evening features a gala style international dinner, with plenty of choices for both vegetarian and non-vegetarian guests. Soft drinks, tea, coffee and water are included, while dessert lovers will enjoy the special New Year’s cake served onboard.

Live performers keep the energy going — expect traditional dances, music and possibly interactive acts. As the midnight hour strikes, the dhow stops or slows in a strategic spot — giving you unparalleled views of the fireworks over the city. It’s a festive, elegant and culturally rich way to celebrate — curated by Visit Dhow Cruise Dubai.
