Dining & Entertainment
The iftar buffet is the centerpiece: dates and laban to break the fast, followed by soups, salads, hot main dishes, a live cooking station, and Ramadan desserts. In line with UAE rules during Ramadan, there is no live Tanoura dance or loud music on the iftar sailing — the evening is calm, with soft background ambience. Vegetarian iftar options are available on request.
Who It's For
Families and friends wanting to share iftar with a view, corporate iftar gatherings (see Corporate Dhow Cruise Events), and visitors who want a uniquely Dubai Ramadan experience. Non-fasting guests are equally welcome.
Check Ramadan Dates on WhatsApp
Because Ramadan dates move each year and sailings are limited, the best approach is to message us as soon as the month is announced to secure your preferred evening. Corporate and family groups often book entire sections together for iftar, and private iftar charters can be arranged for larger gatherings. Non-fasting guests are fully welcome, and the iftar buffet is served to everyone at sunset. Modest dress is appreciated out of respect for the holy month.
