It's a monumental achievement to steer these majestic ships, so make sure you watch from the shore as the 60ft Dubai Traditional Dhow Sailing Race takes to the waves.
Organised by the Dubai International Marine Club (DIMC), this race is part of a busy winter calendar of water sporting tournaments that take advantage of the city's perfect water and weather conditions.
DIMC's eight-month-long season of events sees local and international sports enthusiasts pit their talents against each other in various activities including sailing, rowing and kitesurfing. The dhows are crewed exclusively by Emiratis, calling upon their skill, endurance and memories of ancestral heritage during this high-speed race.
