Dubai Dhow Wharf

A dhow is a traditional sailing ship used to transport cargo. These wood-hulled boats are still in use, and our visit to the wharf on the Dubai Creek showed us just how much stuff is moved by these boats every day.

The cargo that we saw included (among other things) nuts and other bulk foods, tires, washing machines, electric toy cars, various electronics, soda and juice, and these - stuffed animals.
