Description
Under a blazing sun, far from the skyscrapers and SUVs of modern Dubai, hundreds of enthusiasts take to Gulf waters to participate in the 34th edition of the al-Gaffal race. Around Sir Bu Nair, a teardrop-shaped island roughly 100 kilometres (60 miles) from both Dubai and Abu Dhabi, two of seven emirates that make up the UAE, more than a 100 teams race dhows, the sailboats that have plied the Arabian peninsula's waters for centuries.
