Absolutely magical. Watching old Dubai from the dhow brought back memories and created new ones. Loved the Tanoura show and peaceful atmosphere.

Best way to unwind in Dubai. Dinner was excellent, and the views of the souks and heritage buildings were priceless.

We took our two kids (ages 8 and 10), and they had the time of their lives. Our guide was great with them, making sure they were safe and entertained throughout.

We chose Creek over Marina and it was the right call for us—more traditional, more authentic. Great food and staff.
