Most popular for its shopping festivals, Dubai’s desert city has much more to offer. From camel racing and horse racing to dhow racing, it’s waiting to be explored. A dhow is a traditional Arab sailing vessel with one or more lateen sails. These ships today are used either for dhow sailing competitions or for tourism.
Today’s Dows have been electro fitted with motors and gadgets to make them technosavy.
The dhow that Habib Charted was a tourist ship dolled up internally as a 5 star cruise liner to meet up to international standards. A great way of seeing Dubai is to explore the Creek sailing on a traditional dhow. Some of Dubai’s major landmarks can be seen from this watercourse. Pleasant weather in Dubai lasts from the end of September to the beginning of May and that is the best time to visit. So if you want to meet up with the remnants of the enchanting illusion of the Arabian night’s dhows visit Dubai.
