Everything was absolutely perfect! The evening started with a peaceful dinner rich in local charm, followed by an explosive show program and endless dancing! It was a night full of excitement and vibrant emotions. We highly recommend it as an evening activity! If you’re planning to go in January, don’t forget to bring a vest or sweater, as it can get cool and windy. Overall, a 10 out of 10 experience—highly recommended!

Overall, it was a good evening. The buffet food was tasty, and the walk along the marina was pleasant, though the stop at the end felt a bit long to pass the time. The "whirling dervish" dancer was wonderful, but the part where he tried to get the audience to join in went on for too long. Overall, it was a nice experience. The value for money wasn't exceptional, but it was fair.

The route itself wasn't very scenic, with little to see along the way. Halfway through, it was just one-story buildings, and the route headed towards Sharjah. Additionally, they provided a menu with one price for drinks, but when it came time to pay, they presented another menu with prices 30% higher, and there was no way to prove the difference. I wouldn't recommend this experience.

Unfortunately, the entire experience was a bit disorganized. Initially, we were sent to the wrong boat, which wasn’t a huge issue. However, after about an hour, we were asked to leave and move to another boat. The tour was meant to start at 7:45 p.m. and last around two hours, but we didn’t begin until 8:45 p.m. We had a booking for Burj Khalifa at 11 p.m. afterward, but unfortunately, we missed it and lost €200.

The food was average and could definitely use some improvement. The live show was just one performer with somewhat boring ideas, though his skills should still be appreciated. We were also expecting at least a few performances from Arabic performers.
