Yesterday we decided to have dinner on a dhow whilst cruising down the creek. A dhow is basically large wooden boat like in the picture below:
The cruise lasts about 2 hours during which you have a 3 course buffett dinner and the boats sails up and down a small area of the creek. It was fun to see some of the sights and the city lights from the boat but it was a bit annoying that we kept turning around and changing direction. The creek is a salt water one about 100m wide. The building on the rhs in the first pic below is the National Bank of Dubai (or known affectionately as 'The Pregnant Lady').
But the buffet was nice and anywhere they serve alcohol is going to make me happy. Here is a pic of Geoff and me at our window seat as well as a photo of Geoff deep in discussion with the boat's pasta chef.
