Impressive night view - Impressive view 💕
I was impressed by the night view after the cruise started and had a delicious dinner, and the excitement was the best when the fireworks went up.

Night out in Dubai - Food was good and entertainment was enjoyable! We sat on the top deck so we experienced the cool night breeze. We had a great time!

Worst experience ever! - If I could give this zero stars, I would. The description of the experience was deceptive and misleading. The description stating that the cruise was 3 hours. It was barely 1 hour. The description stated that there would be an "international buffet". There was not anywhere close to an international buffet, let alone a "buffet". The food was horrible and included frozen fish sticks! The drinks were lackluster, the utensils, plates, etc. were subpar.
Entertainment - there was a dancer. Although he did a traditional dance which was okay however, two of the individuals in our group were hit - one in the head and the other on top of the head.
There was no commentary. The boat was in poor (borderline unsafe) condition, and it SMELLED!
This is to name a few unsatisfactory things. From the outset of the evening, we were pretty much forced to send in pictures of our IDs before we were given the confirmation from the vendor. This is even after the charge had been run on our cards and we had received a confirmation from Viator!
This vendor should be avoided at all costs and Viator should cease promoting this vendor on their site! These folks are shady, unscrupulous and deceptive AND they will video tape you without your knowledge so that they can refute any claims that you may have! For example, the dancer asked our group to clap while he was dancing and we then find out that we were videoed and then the vendor claimed that we had "a good time"! We only clapped as requested.
My last advice, if you are considering choosing these people for your cruise, ADVOID THEM AT ALL COSTS! There are other Dhow boat cruises that are way better!

Bad Experience - What was advertised was not what we got. The transportation did not have enough sets for the group and they know how many was I the group. Two days before what got what’s up messages from unknown individuals. As for a copy of your passports. The company would not give us the pickup place until we provided picture ID. The write up and pictures by Vidor said we could buy wine/beer. Not the truth. We got tiny plastic cups of juice and coke. No toilet paper in bathroom. Food was terrible watered down hummus, store bought fish sticks and food that needed utensils that did not break when you used them. The boat trip was less than an hour. The entertainment was so so. Do not take this boat.

Horrible - The boat was horrible, the food was worse and they experience in all was horrible. I would not recommend this ride to anyone. The chicken was supposed to be BBQ but ended up being dry chicken I think. The vegetables were so spicy I could not eat them, and also it had so many bones in the food you had to pick through it so you wouldn't swallow it. Don't go on this ride, not worth the money AT ALL, RUN AWAY.

Horrible disaster don't do it wasted my money. - Bad food. . Entertainment injured my husband. Trip lasted an 1hr instead of 3 hts. Boat falling apart. Tour requested passport and ID for verification. Chicken bones broken in food. Spicy hot. Drinks tucked water down orange juice. Gavre us when trip is almost over. Highly would not recommend ever. Fish sticks from a box.

The most disappointing event of our stay - The Whirling Dervishe was impressive and very entertaining as were the night lights of the riverbank. Unfortunately every other aspect of this dinner cruise was a disappointment, this was a night of celebration for us and whilst we wanted to do this quietly, being somewhere we did not feel welcome was not our expectation.
