Dubai Ferry Ramadan Timings 2017

During the holy month of Ramadan the timings for the Dubai Ferry can change.

The RTA has announced the timings of the Dubai Ferry services for the holy month of Ramadan, which is expected to start on Saturday 27th May 2017.

Dubai Ferry will operate from Al Ghubaiba Station at 11am and 6:30pm and from the Marina station at 11am, 5pm and 6:30pm.

This means that the afternoon services will not take place – i.e. the 1pm one way trips between Al Ghubaiba and Dubai Marina, and the 3pm circular trips, plus the 5pm trip from Al Ghubaiba.

Timings for the Ferry services in the Dubai Water Canal will also be restricted to the morning and evening sailings.

The sailings at 2.05pm from the Water Canal and midday from Al Jadaf stations will not run during Ramadan.

Dubai Ferry Runs Buffet Trips for Iftar

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.
