A day for the one neglected corner, drawer, shelf, bag, vent, box, or closet that finally gets attention.
An annual festival in Kuwait Bay celebrating the dhow heritage of Kuwait. The dhow (dawan in Kuwaiti Arabic) is the wooden sailing vessel that was the backbone of Kuwait's economy before oil. The Kuwaiti dhows were built by master shipwrights (qallalif) using Indian teak and coconut fiber (no nails were used in the construction), and they sailed to India, East Africa, and Iraq carrying pearls, dates, and spices. The festival includes dhow races in Kuwait Bay, demonstrations of traditional shipbuilding, pearl diving re-enactments, and the serving of traditional maritime food: mutabbaq samak (fish stuffed with rice and spices), machboos rubyan (spiced rice with shrimp), and maqwba (fish baked with okra and tomato).
