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.

Which ferry rides enters and crosses the automatic water bridge?
Do you meant he bridge along Dubai Water Canal? You can take the ferry along the canal to go under the bridge.
What is the fare and timing of the ferry rout from Dubai canal station to Marina.
You will find the timings on the Routes page and the ticket prices on the Tickets page.
Can I bring a big luggage inside the ferry?
I think it would probably be at the discretion of the people who were working on the ferry but I expect they would let you on if it wasn’t going to take up too much space or cause a hazard by blocking walkways.
hi we are staying at jw maquis on business bay, can you please tell me is there any ferry station near by
There is a ferry station at Business Bay, check out the Routes/Timings page.
May I know where is the exactly location of the ferry in Al gubiba?
Please check this page http://dubai-ferry.com/dubai-ferry-maps/
just near ghubaiba metro station….. while walking through ghubaiba metro station to abra side this you will find in the center….. when you will go there you will find easily
May we have a map showing the route of the One Way Trip between Dubai Marina and Al Ghubaiba? Thanks
Thanks for your comment, I have added a map showing the approximate route on the Routes/Timings page.
Dear Admin,
I just open my bank account with Emirates NBD and in my debit card they offer me Free RTA Dubai Ferrt every friday for 02 adults and 2 children . So can i utilize this offer any other day or not?
No, the Emirates NBD offer is only for the times specified.
Hi

Request you to confirm the same.
Do I need to take any prior approval ?
Thanks & regards,
Naren
If you need extra confirmation then I suggest you call the RTA on 800 9090.

Hi,
I am planning to go via ferry from Al ghubaiba to Marina.
On route i am able to have a view of Al-Arab and Atlantis?
I checked the route on website but little consfused. It will be great if you can help me.
You will see the Burj al Arab but not see Atlantis close upas the route goes along the shoreline not round the palm.
Thanks. Is their any route where i can see Atlantis also?
No, at least not both of them close up as you are travelling different ways around the Palm.
The service provides fine views of Dubai. It’s well worth taking a circular trip for sightseeing purposes.
How I use my Emirates NBD Go For it Debit card in Dubai Ferry to avail a free trip with my family ?

Thank You.
Piyush
No, unfortunately you can’t currently buy tickets in advance online.
Todays timing ?
Hi, thank you for the very informative website on the ferry! I would like to check with you if the 3pm circular route from the Dubai Marina to the Burj Al Arab is any different than the 5pm circular route Dubai Marina to Atlantis? If it is different, where can I find a picture of the route?
How early on the day of departure should I be at the Dubai Marina to purchase the tickets for the 3pm and 5pm circular route to from the Marina?
Thank you!
Yes if you check out the routes page there is a map showing the 5pm route whereas the 3pm route goes ‘under’ the Palm and more along the shoreline.
Hi ,
I got few silver tickets of Dubai Ferry and I need to use in future on my off days, so is there any send email for confirmation or we can go directly to the counter plz advise me.
thanks
Raja
I’m not sure what you mean by you have silver ferry tickets as tickets can only be bought on the day at the time of travel. Do you have a silver Nol card? If so these can’t be used to buy ferry tickets at present.
I mean I got Tickets from travel company, I can use the tickets any time ???
I’m sorry I don’t have any information on those tickets so it would probably be best to call the RTA on 800 9090.
Hi!
Children ticket price in this page is incorrect. We went from Dubai Marina to Al Ghubaiba yesterday and we had to pay full price for our 8year-old. Trip itself was great though!!
I don’t believe you should have paid full fare. Children travel half price on public transport in Dubai.
Ok, anyway we did. Also after specifically asking about price for children as per your web page.
Maybe ticket sales personnel needs more info on this?
Kind Regards,
Fredrik
I went to the Water Canal Station and they said that tickets for children were full price from there (to Al Ghubaiba and the Marina I believe) but should be half price from those 2 stations so maybe there has been a miscommunication in the RTA somewhere.
I want to take a trip from al gubaiba to dubai marina but wanted to know that which would be the closest metro station post that trip to return home.
The closest Metro is Damac (previously known as Dubai Marina)
Hello
Can we use NOL card balance to pay for the ferry tickets?
No, I don’t believe you can.
Hi,
I am interested in taking a ferry trip from Dubai Marina to Atlantis. Can you let me know which is the closets metro station to Dubai Marina ferry stop and is it walking distance.
As mentioned the trip is at 5 p.m daily
The closest Metro is Damac station (formerly Dubai Marina) – yes it is within walking distance, just go through the Marina Mall and turn left.
