Abu Dhabi Boat Trips And Cruises

Wooden dhows are frequently spotted in the waters surrounding Abu Dhabi. Although they are unlike any other conventional rivers, the city's waterways and coastline present avenues for engaging in dhow cruises. Dhows are steeped in the past as they had been serving as integral vessels for trade, fishing, and transporting goods along the shores of the Arabian Peninsula, East Africa, and South Asia. These vessels come in various types, each tailored for specific purposes. Noteworthy examples include the "Baghlah," a sizable trading dhow, and the "Boom," a more diminutive coastal craft employed in fishing activities. These cruises provide a distinctive opportunity to take in Abu Dhabi's skyline while savoring a meal, all while immersing yourself in the city's waterside charm. Abu Dhabi is graced with natural mangrove forests that flourish along its shores. These mangroves hold great ecological importance and can be explored through kayaking and boat tours. They are thriving hubs for avian and marine life. Situated on Saadiyat Island, the pristine Saadiyat beach serves as a nesting ground for hawksbill turtles. During the nesting season, visitors have the rare privilege of witnessing these turtles laying their eggs, making it a pivotal location for conservation efforts.
