Sailing
The traditional Al Gaffal dhow race is one of the major sailing event in the UAE.
Al Gaffal is the Arab term for “the return”, which explains the dhow boats' trip back to the docks after many hours of racing in the Persian Gulf.
The race starts at Sir bun Air which is at 50 nautical miles of the coast, and finishes at the Mina Seyahi.
It has been taking place every year since 1991, but the event has become much bigger with time and thousands of boats now take part in the race.
For all sailing amateurs: come and admire this exciting aquatic event!
