This weekend I did a little tour through the Northern Emirates. I´m quite happy, since it gave me a a rather more differentiated picture of the country. Not everything is covered with the shine of Abu Dhabi and Dubai.
Also during this tour, I looked out for traditional dhows and specially sailing dhows. But none where to be found. Clearly, for the fishermen the boat of choice is the open fiberglass "panga", with a powerful outboard. S could be realistically expected, the sailing dhows of Abu Dhabi and Dubai are sport equipments maintained by rich families, and have little to do with life in more isolated communities.
