Know before you go

Boarding is at the Dubai Creek jetty in the early evening and the dhow departs on time, so arrive at least 15 minutes before your slot - the boat cannot wait for late arrivals.
Exact jetty details are sent with your confirmation.
Seating is split between an air-conditioned lower deck and an open upper deck; upper-deck places are not reserved and fill quickly, so board early if you want one.
The buffet includes vegetarian dishes, and soft drinks and tea are unlimited; alcohol is not served.
Smart casual dress is fine, but bring a light layer for the open deck in winter.
The Creek is sheltered and the sailing is calm, so seasickness is rarely an issue.
Boarding involves a short step down onto the boat, which is worth knowing if anyone in your party has limited mobility.
