Diane Trader is a travel consultant with a love for the vast deserts of the Middle East and the idyllic Arabian waters. Having lived in the Middle East for a major part of her life, she has developed a deep sense of affection for a city like Dubai, which is rich in cruises and all things nautical. Through her blog, she hopes to kindle the self-same appreciation in the visitors who visit Dubai.
Despite the hot climate that envelopes Dubai most of the time, one of the best tourist activities in the golden emirate undoubtedly constitute a visit to any of the many beaches that line it.
The coastal beaches are not the only ones to enjoy though, as tourists can enjoy the various resorts that line the Dubai Creek as well. The best way to experience the latter is via a special Dubai/UAE dhow cruise 
that takes tourists around the Creek.
Some Creek-side resorts and sightseeing spots that are especially notable are the Dubai Creek Golf and Yacht Club, counted among some of the more exclusive ones and the Al-Maktoum Bridge.
A typical dhow cruise package in Dubai includes visits to sights like the Gold Souk, the Grand Mosque and the Al Fahidi Fort. These are must-see spots while on a Dubai boat tour.
The beaches along the extended coastline of Dubai include the Jumeirah Beach and the Jebel Ali Beach among the more notable ones. These strips are home to many eating joints, lounges and private clubs and are a favorite with tourists for their clean waters and warm sands.
Beachwear is allowed on the beach and in the private pools, but tourists are advised to slip into regular clothing once out of the beach areas.
A dinner on dhow cruise in Dubai is not usually included among the beachside water activities as these waters are more popular for their surfing, yachting, sailing and parasailing sports.
For a memorable Dubai dhow cruise, you can get in touch with your Dubai boat tour company.
