About this Al Mansour dinner cruise
Al Mansour is a traditional megadhow — a traditional two-deck cultural boat with shared tables and open decks, not a megayacht. The route covers Dubai Marina, JBR, Bluewaters Island, Dubai Harbour and Palm Jumeirah.
The daily dinner sailing runs 9:00 PM to 11:00 PM. Boarding opens 30 minutes before departure at 8:30 PM behind Sparkle Tower, JBR. Compare other Marina boats on our Dhow Cruise Dubai Marina hub.
