Head to the Bateen Shipyard to see the traditional Arabic ship-building process in full swing. Skilled craftsmen carve the trademark wooden dhows from huge planks of teak without new age materials or fussy modern techniques. To watch the boats in action, visit Dhow Harbour for one of the regular sailing races.
