History
Dhows were traditional Arabian trading vessels; today’s dinner dhows reinterpret that heritage for leisure cruising through a man-made marina developed in the early 2000s.
Conservation
The Marina is engineered shoreline—avoid throwing anything overboard and opt for operators that limit light and noise to reduce disturbance to marine birds and fish.

Pick your deck early
Upper deck gives unobstructed skyline views and fresh air; lower deck is air-conditioned and better for older guests or heat-sensitive travelers.
Board 15–30 minutes early
Marina traffic and security lines can slow boarding—arrive early to secure preferred seating and photo positions.
Bring a light jacket
Evenings on the water can be breezy, especially between October and March—layering keeps the night comfortable.
Consider motion-sickness remedies
While the marina is sheltered, those prone to sea-sickness should take medication or use acupressure bands before boarding.
Light jacket or windbreaker
Blocks evening breezes on the upper deck and adds comfort in winter months.
