Got it. Beautiful subject matter — and a nice connection back to the Fish of the Emirates towel too for anyone browsing. Here we go:

PRODUCT DETAILS

Before Dubai had a skyline, it had a shoreline.

The story of the UAE is a maritime story. Long before the oil was discovered, the people of this coastline lived by their skill on the water. They built dhows by hand, crafting wooden vessels sturdy enough to carry trade goods across the Indian Ocean to India, East Africa and beyond. They dove for pearls in the warm, turquoise waters of the Arabian Gulf, holding their breath in the deep to bring up the treasures that made this coast famous the world over. They fished, they traded, they navigated by the stars. The sea was not a boundary. It was a highway.

And then there is the abra, The humble wooden water taxi that has been ferrying people across Dubai Creek for generations, and still does today. Five dirhams, two minutes, and a view that no five-star hotel can match.

Amna Al Saleh's gorgeous illustration brings together dhows and abras in a design that celebrates the full sweep of UAE maritime heritage, silk screen printed by hand in blue on a crisp 100% natural linen tea towel. The print is heat sealed for a long print life, so it will look beautiful wash after wash.

Each tea towel arrives folded with a stiffening card and wrapped in a sustainable card sleeve. No plastic. Ready to gift, straight out of the bag.

Why this makes a perfect gift: One of our most loved home goods, and deservedly so. We use ours as a serving towel. Perfect for farewell gifts, housewarming gifts, Eid and Ramadan gifts, hostess gifts, an excellent secret Santa gift and anyone who wants a little piece of the UAE for their entertaining. Packs flat, posts beautifully, and never fails to make someone smile.
