Kuwaitis sail in traditional dhows off K

Kuwaitis sail in traditional dhows off Kuwait City as they compete in the "Battle of Riqqa" during preparations for the upcoming annual pearl diving season on July 11, 2009. Pearl-diving trips are held annually under the patronage of the Kuwaiti emir in order to keep alive traditions that accompanied the once-important national pearl trade before the discovery of the oil wealth.
