In contrast to the well-known Pokemon character, the Abra is more well-known throughout the Middle East as the engine-driven wooden water taxis or boats that travel on the waters of the Dubai Creek desert safari in dubai.

Aside from the Dubai Dhow cruise, tourists can also take a traditional nautical journey in these small boats which can hold up to 20 passengers. Visitors do not need a Dubai dhow tour booking for travel in the abra because these boats are actually public transport.

As with a private Dhow cruise tour in Dubai, abras can be booked for around an hour for a private tour of the creek. Beware, however, that the entertainments aboard an abra aren't comparable to those on board Dubai dinner cruises.

One of the major reasons for this is due to the limited space. The passengers sit in the middle of the boat, facing towards the outside. The humble abra in short was built to transport and sightseeing, not in the form of a boat for entertainment, like the more colourful Dhow dinner tours that are offered in Dubai.

Abras are a part of the culture and history of Dubai like the dhows. It is a Dubai boat tour company usually will invite you to test out both the boats to complete your Arabian excursion.

If you're looking to take a quick trip on the Dubai Creek with transport or sightseeing on your mind An abra is your best choice. If you are looking for a dining cruise in Dubai or for a longer leisure cruise, dhows are perfect vessels for you.

A reputable cruise company will be able to assist you by providing both.
