Getting to Dubai: By boat

Full Dubai Travel Guide » Dubai Interactive Map » Print This Article »

Dubai is a trading hub for dhows from around the Indian Ocean. Travellers wanting to arrive in the city this way will probably need to make their own arrangements with the captain of the vessel.

To/from Iran:

A boat service by Valfajr Shipping Company www.vesc.net leaves Bandar Lengeh (and also Bandar Abbas) supposedly every second day and docks in Port Rashid in Dubai, returning the following day. Crossing the Gulf takes roughly 6 hours, and a two way ticket costs as of February 2008 US$88 (IR 950,000). The ticket includes lunch (Iranian style).
