Q: Is food included in the Sunset Dhow Cruise price?

A: Yes, our Sunset Dhow Cruise includes a BBQ dinner buffet with a variety of meats, salads, and sides, along with unlimited soft drinks and water.

Q: Where does the boat depart from?

A: The dhows depart from the Dhow Harbor located on the Doha Corniche, near the Museum of Islamic Art. However, our package includes hotel pickup, so you do not need to worry about finding the location yourself.

Q: Is this cruise private or shared?

A: The price listed (1165 QAR) is typically for a Private booking for a small group or couple. If you are looking for a shared ticket (per person), please contact us for our public cruise schedule which runs at a lower rate.

Q: What happens if the weather is bad?

A: Safety is our priority. If the coast guard prohibits sailing due to high winds or rough seas, we will either reschedule your Sunset Dhow Cruise or offer a full refund.

Q: Is there a dress code for the boat?

A: There is no strict dress code, but we recommend "Smart Casual." It can get breezy on the water in the evening, so bringing a light shawl or jacket is advisable during winter months.

Q: Can we swim during the cruise?

A: This specific 3-hour sunset trip is designed for dining and sightseeing, not swimming. If you wish to swim, please book our "Island Hopping" or "Daytime Dhow Cruise" package (4-6 hours) which anchors at Safliya Island.
