Dubai Dhow Cruise: Dhow is
the generic name of a number of traditional sailing vessels with one or
more masts with lateen sails used in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean
region. Some historians believe the dhow was invented by Arabs but this
is disputed by some others. Dhows typically weigh 300 to 500 tons, and
have a long, thin hull design. They are trading vessels primarily used
to carry heavy items, like fruit, fresh water or merchandises, along the
coasts of the Arabian Peninsula, Pakistan, India, Bangladesh and East
Africa. Larger dhows have crews of approximately thirty people, while
smaller dhows typically have crews of around twelve.
