In the holy month of Ramadan the RTA has set up a new initiative together with Bazerkan, part of Byblos Hospitality, to offer iftar trips on the Ferry which include a full buffet plus a tour of the marina areas of Dubai. This is a great alternative to traditional iftar dinners provided by hotels in Dubai as you also get a sightseeing trip at the same time. The Iftar buffet costs 180 dirhams and passengers board from 7pm. The trip lasts about 90 minutes.

The Iftar ferry trip only runs from the Dubai marina ferry station (not Al Ghubaiba) and in addition there is also a Suhour buffet that runs at 10.30pm.
