Dubai New Year Creek Cruise

Overview

Celebrate the New Year's in true Dubai style with the Dubai New Year Creek Party — a New Year's dhow cruise with dinner, live performances, city views and a spectacular fireworks display at the end. Depart from Al Seef, Bur Dubai and experience a three-hour party along Dubai Creek.

Dubai Creek is a refreshing alternative to the congested streets and traditional New Year's parties. As night falls, the dhow is transformed into a festive celebration — with decorations, music, food and glimpses of Old Dubai as you step on board. There is an international buffet of vegetarian and non-vegetarian options on the cruise, plus a complimentary cake-cutting ceremony at the end of the year.

If you opt for the upper deck, steer towards the open area as midnight draws near and enjoy watching fireworks light up the Dubai skyline — with great views around Al Seef, Dubai Festival City and Burj Khalifa.
