Mombasa Dhow Dinner Cruise
An evening on the old creek under a lateen sail
- Day trip
A restored Arab dhow sails the Tudor creek at sunset with dinner aboard — seafood, a Swahili band and an acrobat troupe, and the lights of the old harbour going by. Straightforward, and a good last night on the coast.
Trip highlights
- Sunset sail on a traditional lateen-rigged dhow
- Four-course seafood dinner served on board
- Live taarab and Swahili music, and an acrobatic show
- A short guided walk through Fort Jesus before boarding
