“The experience was wonderful! Once we arrived, it was easy to find the tour group. The setting was beautiful and the boat was clean with a charming set-up. The staff was friendly and quick to provide service during the full hour and half boat ride. There was a good selection of food and the taste was great! The entertainment was good but I would have like to see more variety. Overall all ....it was good value for money! The experience is one not to miss if you are visiting Dubai on vacation!!!”

The helper’s body odor was sooooo bad we could hardly breathe.”
