Dubai - Dhow Wharfage

The Dhow Wharfage is located along the bank of the Dubai Creek, north of Al-Maktoum Bridge. The Dhow Wharfage is still used by small Gulf traders, some in dhows that are well over 100 years old. Tourists can gain insight in to the life of a sailor by watching the cargo being loaded and unloaded. The sailors quite often offer tourists a tour of their vessel. Many of the dhows travel on to Kuwait, Iran, Oman and India on the high seas.

Tourists are encouraged to walk around and explore the Dhow Wharfage to take in the activity and bustling scenery of an area that has remained the same since the early days.
