Enjoy dazzling views while floating down the Creek aboard this fancily outfitted, air-conditioned, glass-roofed dinner boat with panoramic windows, linen-draped tables, live music and an outdoor deck. Rates include a four-course meal and soft drinks or house beverages. A one-hour Sunset Cruise with mezze (adult/child Dhs150/75) offers a more informal experience but the same views.
