The “Dhows” – traditional Arab Red Sea boats – still sail along the coasts of the United Arab Emirates of Oman and of Iran. They are still being built today, in the small Emirate of Ras al-Khayma.
The Al-Mansouri family’s shipyard, which has existed for 3 generations, is one example of this activity. Abdallah runs the shipyard and he employs 25 ship carpenters. But is there still a future for these age-old sea going vessels?
