Emiratis capture the glory of dhows using their iPhones
modern dhows
Abu Dhabi - Emirates Voice
Dhow boats, an important part of the UAE's heritage, should be visually kept alive through photography. This was the message of two Emirati photographers who captured traditional and modern dhows using only their iPhone 7 Plus mobiles.
The UAE was famous as a maritime hub before the country discovered oil. Dhows were used for pearl diving, fishing and trading, which was the main source of income for the locals; the vessels thus made up the foundation of the UAE economy.
The photographers, Abdullah Al Buqaish and Ahmad Al Rais, captured the essence of the UAE heritage and culture by photographing these dhows.

to 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris.
