The dhow is the working boat of the Swahili coast, and sailing one at golden hour is the simplest, best thing you can do with two hours in Zanzibar.
The crew raises the sail, the sun drops into the ocean, and you get the photograph everyone comes here for. Private charters are available for proposals and small celebrations.
