Alexandra Dhow Cruise

The dinner cruise lasts approximately 2 hours. Boarding begins at 8:30 PM, the dhow departs at 9:00 PM, and returns to the marina at approximately 10:45 PM.

Our dinner cruise operates daily with boarding at 8:30 PM and departure at 9:00 PM. During winter months, we also offer a sunset cruise on Fridays and Sundays with boarding at 5:00 PM.
