The Dhows of Dubai

"The Dhows of Dubai" traces the journey of the dhow (a traditional boat in Arabic) from its birth at the base of the Dubai creek where they are constructed, downstream to the middle of the creek where these ships dock side by side as sailors load these boats to the brim, testing the shipbuilders’ craftsmanship. Finally, we follow the dhows as they sail to the mouth of the creek where they leave the safety of the inlet for the open waters, ready to gather stories of adventures rivaling "The Odyssey" and evoking "A Thousand and One Nights".
