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.
is there any link to book dubai ferry tickets online?
No you can’t book tickets online at the present time.
I would like to book in for my family for a round trip from Dubai Marina Mall covering Altantis and back to Marina Mall.
Can you assist me in making the booking for eight people, we have scehduled to have this trip on this coming Friday or Saturday.
Hi, unfortunately you can’t prebook tickets so you will just need to go and buy the tickets at the time of your selected departure.
What is the procedure to book the tickets if online is not accessible now.
You just go to the ferry terminal and they have a ticket office there.
Hi there,
My family and I will be staying at the Dubai Marina over the forthcoming Christmas & New year period.
Please can you advise if there will be any ferry trips running on New Years eve (2015/2016) to view the fireworks and the approximate price per ticket?
Many thanks,
Hi, unfortunately the RTA does not release this kind of information until a few days before the event, sorry.
Does this sell out right away? If so, when will you know the exact date it starts selling? Very keen to book a ferry for NYE and don’t want to miss out!
Also, do you know what the approximate price was last year?
Best,
JJ
They usually only announce it a few days before and then it does sell out pretty quickly. Tickets last year were 200 dirhams.
Dear Team,
Kindly advise if any furry available from dubai to iran with car.

How to come from dubai marina mall to dubai marina ferry station.there is any way from inside the mall.
Yes just exit the mall at the lower level and turn left.
Dear Admin
I got few questions. If you could please answer.
1. Are all options available on Friday?
2. Is there any difference of routes of ferry running at 3 and 5?
3. Which route it follows for circular trip? Is it complete circular package and open for all (any one can board)?
4. What route it takes from Al Mamzar? And where we need to go for Al Mamzar boarding? Is it in same price?
Thanks
Sorry for the delay in replying.
1. Yes
2. Good question, they are described in different ways but I am not certain what differences there are, sorry.
3. yes anyone can go on the circular trips, they hug the coastline for half and hour or so and then head back to port.
4. I will be adding maps of the locations of the ports shortly. yes, it’s the same price from Al Mamzar.
Evening Admin,
I was wondering if it is possible to book a return trip from Al Ghubaiba to Abu Dhabi?
I have been using the Inter Emirate Bus but would love to travel by water. Let me know if there is any way.
Thanks. Cheers!
Unfortunately the Ferry only operates within Dubai.
Ahh! Okay…Thank you so much for the prompt reply. 🙂
Would like to go for the Dubai Marica Cruise this evening at 5 pm. Please let me know if I would get tickets if I turn up 20 mins before the trip.
Yes that’s how it generally works.
We will be in Dubai for the day on Friday 23rd October, a day stop on our cruise.
Does the ferry run on Fridays?
If so is the stop close to the cruise ship port?
Hi, yes the ferry does run on Fridays. The Al Ghubaiba station is not far from the cruise terminal. There is a circular route that runs from there at 3pm for 60-75 minutes or there is a route that runs from there to Dubai Marina at 11am or 1pm. If you got that one way trip then you could get the Metro back to Al Ghubaiba from Dubai Marina.
Our cruise ship sails at 5pm so we would need to be back on board by 4pm so it looks like we will only have the one way option at 11am or 1pm. Am I correct in thinking that the Metro does not start until 2pm on Fridays?
When you refer to the Al Ghubaiba station is that a Metro Station or Ferry Stop?
How far is the walk from the cruise ship to the Ferry stop?
The Metro starts at 1pm on Fridays so you could take the 11am ferry and come back by Metro or else you could come back by the 1pm ferry from the Marina. There is both a Metro station and the ferry stop at Al Ghubaiba within 1 minutes walk of each other. I’m not sure how far the walk is from the Cruise terminal as I have not been there but it looks pretty close on the map (maybe 15 minutes I would guess – assuming there is a route that you can walk) otherwise you could just pick up a taxi.
One more question. Could I buy ticket for 6.30 Ferry a day in advance or at 1.00pm on same day?? Kindly advice.
regards,
No you can only buy the ticket just before the trip I believe.
Hi, would you please let me know if ticket charges for round trip are different than one way ticket from marina mall to gubaiba station? if so, how much is for round trip at 3.00 pm and how much time does it take?
thanks.
No, ticket charges are the same for all trips and the trips take about 60-75 minutes.
Hi Admin, I am about to visit dubai with my wife. A friend of mine told me about this ferry trip in dubai, where there is dinner served on the ferry deck, drinks etc and he told me that its a good romantic experience.
Pls tell give me details. Thankx
Hi Khan, this is not the trip you are looking for. If you go down to the Creek of an evening you will find lots of boats that run trips around the creek including dinner. This is very only runs during the day and early evening.
Hi,
where will I find the ferry tickets at the Ghubaiba water station? And is it necessary that the ferry won’t run at 11am any day if there are less than 10 people on board?
The ticket office is only a few metres from where the ferry leaves, someone will direct you if needs be. The only services that don’t run with less than 11 passengers are the circular ones so you will be OK with the 11am sailing.
Hey, it is possible to preserve tickets? Thank you
No, tickets are sold on a first come first served basis.
Can I travel with the ferry from Dubai Marina to the Dubai Creek? When? Is the cost the same for all trips (AED50 pP). ? I assume that “11am Al Ghubaiba to Dubai Marina and Dubai Marina to Al Ghubabiba”. means exactly what I look for, but I am not sure.. Please inform while I am still in Dubai (6 days)
Kind regards
Hans Gunddy
Sorry for the delay in replying, yes you can take the ferry from the Marina to Al Ghubaiba as you state and silver class for that trip is 50 dirhams. Hope you managed to sort it!
