The term "dhow" (Arabic: داو dāw) refers to a variety of traditional sailing ships equipped with one or more masts featuring lateen sails, commonly utilized in the Red Sea and Indian Ocean regions. Historians disagree on whether dhows were initially developed by Arabs or Indians. Typically characterized by their long and slender hulls, dhows are primarily utilized as trading vessels, transporting heavy cargo such as fruits, fresh water, or merchandise along the shores of Eastern Arabia (Arab states of the Persian Gulf), East Africa, Yemen, and coastal regions of South Asia (Pakistan, India, Bangladesh). Larger dhows typically have crews of around thirty members, while smaller ones may have approximately twelve.
