The RTA has confirmed the operating hours for the standard ferry sailings during the New Year holidays on 31st December 2018 and 1st January 2019.

This is in addition to the announcement about the ferry services that will run to view the fireworks over the new year, which is always very popular.

There are a few cancellations of standard services on 31st December, in particular from Al Ghubaiba, which may be in order to get the ferries ready for the actual late night new year trips.

There will also be no services along Dubai Water Canal on Monday 31st December.

On 1st January there are some cancellations to the trips running along the canal as these will be cut down to 1 trip each way rather than 2.

The timings are shown below so if you are planning on using the ferry during the day please take note of which services are running. There are also alterations on Sundays as per the announcement previously regarding Dubai Water Canal changes.
