The dhow slips away from the quay as the city lights boot up—glass towers laser into the night while water licks the wooden hull. Onboard, the scent of spiced rice and grilled vegetables rises from the buffet; a low mix of Arabic, English and Indian music threads through the cabin as performers move across the deck.

Conservation
Operators typically follow local waste regulations and limit night-time disturbances; avoid littering and use provided bins to help keep the marina clean.
