Dubai Water Canal
The ferry is no longer running along Dubai Water Canal and the service has been changed to the Dubai Water Bus. Tickets are 2 dirhams per stop.
Gold Class
The gold class (of which there are 14 seats) is at the front of the boat in a separate area with more comfortable seats.
Silver Class
The Silver class seats (of which there are 84) are in the main body of the boat and from here you also have access to the outside area at the back of the boat. Gold Class customers can also use this area if they wish.
Children
Children under 5 years old travel for free on the Dubai Ferry. Children aged 5 years or over pay the full adult ticket price. It is possible to use a pushchair on the Dubai Ferry.
Buying Tickets
You can buy your Dubai Ferry Tickets at the ferry terminus (each one has its own ticket office right next to where the ferry departs) and they can be paid for by either cash, debit or credit card or Nol card. Your Nol card will need to be charged up with the full fare beforehand.
You can also buy tickets from the RTA website.
The tourist trips run for around an hour so this is a quite good value for a tour of the Dubai coastline.
There are also two spaces available for wheelchair users in the silver class area of the ferry.
The Dubai Ferry is also available for private hire – contact the RTA on 800 9090 for further information.
Can the tickets be purchased ahead of time?
I have guests coming in to Dubai and want to take them for a cruise from Dubai Marina around Atlantis and back this coming 29th
The only tickets that can be booked ahead are the ones for New Year’s Eve at the moment.
Where can we book the tickets for dec31?
You can book them from your chosen departure point

Hi,
We are planning a ferry ride for our group of 150 pax in Feb 2017 and we were told that the ferry ticket for Feb 2017 has been increased. Can you please confirm ?

Hi ,
Any update on the offers for NYE ? it is already 19th of Dec , and it would help know if someone wants to make plans for a large group .
No details as of yet. If you have a large group you would probably be better off with a private charter, perhaps even using the water taxi. Contact the RTA on 800 9090 for water taxi hire.
Hi, i contacted RTA for a private charter 2 weeks ago , they said that basically you would need to buy all the tickets for a whole ferry, and when i asked how much a ticket would be for gold and silver for 31st dec, they said they don’t know yet. So basically i did not get any usefull feedback.
