Instead of shopping in the mall which was kind of boring for us, we booked a sightseeing tour on a Dhow Boat through Amazon Tours located inside Festival City Mall. At 3pm, we assembled at the Festival City Mall Waterfront where the Dhow Boats were docked. It wasn't too packed as most people usually go for the dinner cruise which we could not make it.
This tour allowed us to have a relaxing time on a Dhow Boat while enjoying the nice views all around us. The boat sailed along the Dubai Creek from Festival City Mall all the way to Dubai Downtown area. The first prominent landmark that we saw was the Mohammed bin Rashid Library.
As we sailed further down Dubai Creek, we went under a number of bridges.
Soon Burj Khalifa was visible to us as we slowly sailed towards the Bay Square in Dubai Downtown.
The crews were very nice and helped every family to take photos with Dubai city skyline at the background.
Dubai's skyscrapers are well-known around the world in terms of size, height and architectural design. One can really build wonders with $$$.
At this point, the Dhow boat made a U-turn and we were on our way back towards Festival City Mall. Other than all the luxurious skyscrapers, Dubai is not short of luxurious yacht as well.
As we were sailing along Dubai Creek, the crews even allow us to steer the Dhow boat while they helped us take pictures. Of course, they would ensure it's under a very safe condition before they allowed it.
Dubai Creek area is going to be a major highlight of Dubai soon as they are currently building the world's tallest structure, the Dubai Creek Tower.
At the moment, Dubai Creek Residences are already quite well-developed with all the high-rise residential apartments.
Once the construction of Dubai Creek Tower is completed, it will stand at a height of an incredible 1.3km compared to the current world's tallest building, Burj Khalifa, which now stands at 830m.
After an hour of sightseeing tour on the Dhow boat, we were back at Festival City Mall.
It's about time for us to make our way to the airport for our flight home.
