More than 100 wooden fishing dhows lie knotted together at the quay, crewed mostly by fishermen from the Bulsar district of Gujarat who live aboard, mend nets and stack gargoor cages; the photographer Sohail Karmani told The National it is 'as authentic as it gets' in Abu Dhabi. Visit Abu Dhabi describes fishers mending their nets beside the Mina Market.

Good to know
- Late afternoon into sunset is the time: the light on the hulls with the Corniche towers behind is the photo residents come for.
- Ask before photographing the crews; they live on the boats.
- The community has shrunk since the 2019-2020 fishing restrictions (The National), so the number of boats varies.
