Good dubai ferry trips fill up weeks ahead and the great ones go first. Below: the 5 to book early, what each includes and how they differ.
Walk through Al Seef and Al Fahidi with a local guide such as Hamza, Seef, or Francis, taste shawarma, falafel, juice, dates, and Arabic coffee, then cross Dubai Creek by abra to the Spice and Gold Souks. Expect 3 to 4 hours of walking, shopping tips, and cultural context.
“The GuideHamza was very knowledgeable, candid and told us lots of interesting information”
Explore Bastakiya and Al Fahidi Fort, visit Dubai Museum, cross Dubai Creek by wooden abra, and browse the Spice Market and Gold Souk. The tour also includes the Women’s Museum, a fashion show, Jumeirah Mosque photo stop, Burj Al Arab views, guide, admissions, and hotel or port transport.
“Amazing tour. Tour guide was awesome and got to see many cool places. HIGHLY recommend”
From Dubai Harbor, a boat takes you about 10 minutes to JBR Beach for a private eFoil lesson and ride. You will learn with an instructor, then glide above the water toward views of JBR and Bluewaters. Guides named in guest feedback include Amish, Kennedy, Johnkennady, Mamo, and Man.
“Perfect service, we were picked up at the harbour gate in time. The Instruction for the efoil was good and everything worked Out. We had a lot of fun and Amish and Kennedy were super helpful and took great pictures and videos. Highly recommended.”
Learn to ride an electric hydrofoil near Dubai’s Fishing Harbor with an English-speaking instructor, safety gear, and a private setup for up to two adults. Farouk and Pradiv are among the instructors associated with the experience. One eFoil is shared, so each person gets half the 45-minute session.
“Great activity and very helpful instructor, very well spoken and clear instructions to help us fly first time on efoil! Would 100% recommend and will be visiting crystal clear water sports again! Thank you!”
Meet your English-speaking instructor at Dubai Harbour, Dockmaster D1, for a private eFoil session. You’ll receive a life jacket, safety guidance, and time on an electric hydrofoil that can reach 30 kph without wind or waves. Riders must be at least 15.
“Really good fun. Me and my wife did 25 mins each on the efoil. We both learnt it pretty fast and were up and zipping around in no time. It’s basically like a remote control surfboard, very fun. The team were really professional. We were able to valet park at Soluna Beach Club”
By ticket type, by boat, or by the island at the other end.
