The ferry service from Dubai Marina to Dubai Old Town offers a scenic and convenient transportation option, allowing passengers to traverse the city’s modern waterfront to its charming historic district.
A brilliant way to see the famous Dubai Skyline on a $10 – $25 budget. You can book several different tickets for this ferry as it's offered in various ways by various companies. We covered everything in this guide so you know which one to take, where to dock, and what it will cost.
- For the best experience, book this ferry at night! The view is fabulous!

- You buy your ticket at a kiosk near the Dubai Mall entrance.
- You can order food and drinks on this route's (modern) ferry vessels.
- The right-hand side is the preferred place to get seated! (if you remain indoors, however, most people on this ferry go outside quickly, and so will you!)
