Reviews
Highly Recommended
I highly recommend the Iftar Dhow Cruise by Mala.ae for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure on the Dubai Creek. During the Holy Month of Ramadan, this was the most ideal method of breaking the fast. The dhow service just blew me away. Guests may take in the beautiful scenery of Dubai Creek from the comfort of the traditional dhow boat. We had a varied and tasty spread at our Iftar buffet.
Best City Guider
Even though I’ve visited Dubai numerous times previously, my experience with Mala.ae was the best I’ve ever had when it came to sight-seeing. I had never been to many of the places we saw, but with the help of Mala.ae, I was able to do so, and their guide was great at providing context and interesting tales.
Iftar at Dhow Cruise
Unforgettable Iftar experience on a traditional dhow boat with stunning views of Dubai Creek. Delicious Iftar buffet with unlimited soft drinks and water.
A Delicious Iftar Buffet Experience!
Mala ae’s Iftar Dhow Cruise is an incredible way to break your fast during Ramadan. With a delicious buffet, traditional Arabic entertainment, and breathtaking views of Dubai’s skyline, this is an unforgettable experience. The staff is professional and hospitable, ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable evening for all guests.
Nice Experience with Mala.ae
I’ve traveled to Dubai several times before, but this was the nicest sightseeing experience I’ve ever had there. Thanks to Mala.ae, we were able to participate in a number of outings and see locations that I had previously been unable to access, and our guide was fantastic at illuminating relevant background information and fascinating anecdotes.
