A Day In A Cloud Nine
A day in a cloud nine
Apart from all the shopping and relaxation, you must try cruise of Dubai because this is the perfect place to have quality time and to experience the real flavor of Dubai food. The cruises are designed with special wooden material and they are given an ancient look of old Dubai boats. Dubai also has stunning beaches that mesmerizes your heart and to enjoy this entire journey you need to make a week plan to have a look at this.In the old days these boats were the traditional boat building template for this area of the Arabian peninsula, These boats are famous because they were used for traditional racing, they were crewed by younger teams of UAE nationals, and they raced for massive prize money at stake, exceptional sailing skills were required and those skills were typically transferred through generations of forefathers. The sails are proportionally very big that is why the boats could be seen from a very long distance. These huge triangular sails called lateens are the distinguishing feature of the dhows.
Going on the dhow shows that you are going to revive the history as the tradition of the Dhow racing is still alive and those distinguishing sails are still being made. Racing on boats have become popular among industry, sports sails are being made, the prize money is in millions and thus companies sponsoring the Dhows want the best boat so in order to win the shield. They were originally and traditionally were made out of Teak but now sometimes fiberglass and steel is used in specific places on the ship to enhance its sea faring properties. Although they are still mainly made from Teak and painting the teak is not allowed only varnish. One Dhow costs around 130,000 USD to build, in the old days the dhows were made without any machinery and stitching but now a days specialized machinery is used high standard manufacturing practices are used as the technology is advancing so things are changes according to the styles and requirements, as its now no more than a boat it is known as dhow cruise Dubai. Sailing is an integral part of the UAE culture, its taught to the young with pride, and it was the life blood of this region because they mainly depended on trading in the old days.
You must have seen pictures of khasab on internet or through your friends who have visited, you will fall in love with the beauty and nature. When I saw pictures I got quite excited and planned a trip to this place with my family. The overall journey was luxurious and I was very much excited because I wanted to see the nature, quietness and roads. At last we reached the place and when I stepped out of the car, the cold breeze took my heart away and felt so relaxed that I just cannot explain. We settled down in a hotel, they served us coffee which was so different apart from others. So after all this I unpacked my stuff and got ready to explore the beautiful area with my brother and sisters. I tried fishing in the water and also tried snorkeling. I was emotionally connected to this place that I planned to visit it in future again. Other creative uses of the Dhow are for yacht charter and musandam khasab. Tourists really enjoy cruising in the Dhows and having a romantic dinner in an on board restaurant on a Dhow at night, the lighting effects of the surrounding skyscrapers in the Sea add to the beauty of the night and hence the pleasure of dining at one of these Dhows.
