making boats. You can view the the traditional Arabic
ship-building process.
In the Dhow shipyard or Bateen Shipyard craftsmen carve the trademark wooden dhows from huge planks of teak without new age materials or fussy modern technique. If you want o watch these boats in action then visit Dhow Harbour, Abu Dhabi
This ship yard is one of the oldest part of Abu Dhabi, where traditional fishing dhows still deliver their daily catch of prawns and other seafood. Therefore just like the old days, boat builders continue their ancient crafts in a traditional atmosphere.
Most of the boats built or mended here are sleek racing rather than trading dhows - some with carbon fiber masts! Nevertheless it is still a wonderfully traditional place with piles of sawdust scattering in the warm breeze.As a memory you can click photographs, but do ask first you want to take a picture of boat builder.
Bateen Shipyard, Abu Dhabi is open on all days except
Friday. Boatbuilders do not work on Fridays. Though
yard is open at all times, but to get the best view
you to have to be at Bateen Shipyard before five in
