Dhow

Title – Dhow
Date – August 2003
Location - Madagascar

This Dhow or traditional Madagascan fishing boat is just one of the fantastic sights that help you realise how different your life is from that of the peoples living in your host country. It’s a great sight as it passes down the coast but it has a real function, it will probably be the only means of income for one or more families. The Fishermen risk their lives every day to catch enough fish to sell, in order to keep their family afloat.

Understanding local traditions can help you fit in and gain respect which in turn makes your travel safer and more rewarding. At Beyond The Blue, we understand the value of tradition, we realise that teaching people local traditions can give them a good foundation to their planned travel. Our Gap Year and Independent Travel Safety & Awareness workshop provides Destination Advice for your chosen destination(s).
