In Persia (Iran), the kind of dhows that have no motor called "Jahaz"; In past the dhows had a sail but nowadays almost all of them have motor and they are used for fishing, passengers transportation and porterage on the water of the Persian Gulf, the Oman sea, the Indian Ocean and recently in the Caspian sea.<br /><br /><em><span style="font-size:85%;">Source: Looking at DHOW CONSTRUCTION in QESHM- Proceeding of the first Conference of spreading the dhow industry in the water of the south of Persia(Iran)- Publisher: QESHM FREE AREA.</span></em><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21068901-113949932786354737?l=thepersiangulf-wonders-dhow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vestahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11515411393888221112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21068901.post-1139500645104107552006-02-09T01:58:00.000-08:002008-12-11T11:14:48.248-08:00<div><strong><span style="font-size:180%;">Pictures</span></strong><br /><em>All the photos were taken by <strong>MS Mehri Mohebbi (Mehrsa)</strong></em></div><br /><br /><div><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TopbsFCSNes/RZ6qeECrOoI/AAAAAAAAAIY/f-bvdeTs6Fk/s1600-h/Dhow+Construction+(3).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016634468395072130" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_TopbsFCSNes/RZ6qeECrOoI/AAAAAAAAAIY/f-bvdeTs6Fk/s200/Dhow+Construction+(3).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /></div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TopbsFCSNes/RZ6oTkCrOjI/AAAAAAAAAHs/pZD6RorkC0M/s1600-h/Dhow+Construction.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016632088983190066" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TopbsFCSNes/RZ6oTkCrOjI/AAAAAAAAAHs/pZD6RorkC0M/s200/Dhow+Construction.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div> </div><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TopbsFCSNes/RZ6pjkCrOmI/AAAAAAAAAII/rC2pWUO3S60/s1600-h/Dhow+Construction+(2).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016633463372724834" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_TopbsFCSNes/RZ6pjkCrOmI/AAAAAAAAAII/rC2pWUO3S60/s200/Dhow+Construction+(2).jpg" border="0" /></a><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5016634077553048178" style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_TopbsFCSNes/RZ6qHUCrOnI/AAAAAAAAAIQ/Oo8oLSMwtg4/s200/Dhow+Construction+(1).jpg" border="0" /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/21068901-113950064510410755?l=thepersiangulf-wonders-dhow.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Vestahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11515411393888221112noreply@blogger.com
