The conjuring thoughts of pearl divers, sea merchants and fisherman come to mind at the very mention of the word Dhow.
An icon of Arab culture synonymous with the Persain Gulf, traditional wooden dhows continue to play an important part in the economy of the Gulf region.
Since time immemorail, the seafaring nations of the Gulf have utilized dhows. Fishing, transportation of people and goods are its primary purpose.
