Have a ride with the boat but haggle with the boat captains lol because you can get a whole boat for yourselves for very cheap instead of going into tourist once for even cheaper, you cant go wrong! Crouse its very nice with beautiful views at night time. More

The shops were full of tack and we ended up walking one end to the other then got a taxi to another area for the rest of our evening.

HOWEVER, if you think you'll enjoy time on a dhow (traditional wooden boat) cruise with dinner, heed my words: No, you can't!
