THE EXPERIENCE

Discover Ajman Dhow Yard

Ajman Dhow Yard is a place to appreciate living craft rather than a polished museum gallery. Traditional wooden boatbuilding connects the creek with fishing, pearling and trade, while contemporary vessels show that the work continues to evolve. Watching the construction process provides a different perspective from seeing a finished dhow on the water.

This is an active workplace. Visitor access and photography should be agreed with the people responsible, and machinery or stored materials can limit where you go. A respectful exterior or permitted viewing visit may be more appropriate than walking through the workshops. Confirm arrangements before making it the main activity of your day.

  • Boatbuilding craftsmanship
  • Traditional wooden dhows
  • Working creekside setting
