Dhow Harbour, Kuwait - Best Quality Pearls, Fishing, Trading

Upload Photo

The Dhow Harbour is located right behind the Scientific Complex. Entry is free and anyone can just amble all the way right up to this harbour to come on-board the 'Fateh el Kheir'. The Fateh el Kheir, which means “source of Good Fortune”, is the last existing wooden dhow from the pre-oil days. These beautiful wooden ships were used for pearl divers who risked their lives trying to get the best quality pearls from the Arabian Gulf. Before the discovery of oil, this was one of the major trade activities in Kuwait. The dhow ship is beautiful to see, but you must walk all the way around the scientific complex to catch sight of it.
