Tanzania 🇹🇿, Zanzibar island

Traditional boat in the heavenly waters of Zanzibar ⛵️

Boats in Zanzibar are called Dhows. Dhows (or dhows) are sturdy teak boats with a distinctive triangular sail.

There are many forms of dhow, the first were dugouts with teak strips nailed to the sides, which formed the sides. There were no nails at that time and the boats were “stitched together” using coconut fiber.

To preserve Swahili traditions, dhows continue to be built on the Tanzanian coast.

These are the boats that are now the main ones among Zanzibar fishermen, and they also take tourists on them.
