A two month sailing programme is coming to Abu Dhabi for wannabe sailors
Abu Dhabi's shoreline is about to get a little more traditional – and a lot more exciting. Starting June 30, the Noukhthat Abu Dhabi programme sets sail from the Abu Dhabi Marine Sports Club, inviting over 200 young sailors and sea-loving hopefuls to dive into the rich world of traditional Emirati dhow sailing. Backed by the Abu Dhabi Sports Council, this two-month initiative isn't just a summer activity – it's a cultural mission. The programme is focused on teaching the fundamentals of dhow navigation, with an eye on preparing participants for the 22-foot dhow racing scene, a key pillar of the UAE's maritime identity. Supported by @AbuDhabiSC, Abu Dhabi Marine Sports Academy has organised Noukhthat Abu Dhabi. Starting 30 June 2025, the two-month programme will provide training in the fundamental skills of sailing and dhow navigation, enhancing youth connection with UAE maritime heritage. — مكتب أبوظبي الإعلامي (@ADMediaOffice) June 23, 2025 But this isn't only about learning how to handle a sail. The Noukhthat programme is designed to spot rising talent, with specialised coaches on the lookout for young sailors who could one day steer the iconic 43-foot and 60-foot racing dhows. In other words, the next generation of dhow captains might just be training this summer, right here in Abu Dhabi. The weekly sessions will run along the capital's waterfront, blending traditional skills with a forward-thinking vibe that speaks to today's youth. It's a strategic move to keep heritage sports alive – and make them relevant – as the UAE continues to celebrate the Year of Community. Whether you're a seasoned sailor or just intrigued by the curve of a wooden dhow catching the Gulf breeze, this is one programme that ties the past to the future with skill, spirit and saltwater.

Emma Raducanu takes wild card into next week's WTA tournament in Abu Dhabi
Emma Raducanu has taken a wild card into the WTA tournament in Abu Dhabi next week and will play in qualifying for the first time since winning the US Open. Raducanu famously became the first qualifier ever to win a grand slam title in New York in 2021, catapulting her to stardom and making her a prime candidate for receiving wild cards into the biggest events. The 22-year-old has taken advantage of those opportunities but has also been criticised for appearing reluctant to play in qualifying where necessary. We heard you, @EmmaRaducanu's in! 😏🎾#MubadalaAbuDhabiOpen #Mubadala #WTA #AbuDhabiSC–رداً على طلبكم – إيما تعود لبطولة #مبادلة_أبوظبي_المفتوحة 🎾 — Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open (@MubadalaADOpen) January 30, 2025 At the French Open last year, Raducanu pulled out shortly before she had been due to compete in qualifying, preferring to do a training block ahead of the grass-court season. She cited a desire to play more tournaments this year after a sparse schedule last season as she bids to push her ranking back towards the top of the game, and this decision is another encouraging sign. After losing in the third round of the Australian Open to Iga Swiatek, Raducanu headed straight to Singapore, where she lost a three-hour battle with Cristina Bucsa on Monday. Qualifying in Abu Dhabi begins on Saturday and the world number 56 will bid to secure a place in the main draw alongside the likes of defending champion Elena Rybakina and Australian Open semi-finalist Paula Badosa. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Emma. (@emmaraducanu) Raducanu continues to travel solely with new fitness trainer Yutaka Nakamura after coach Nick Cavaday stepped down for health reasons. Jack Draper, though, will not be playing next week after withdrawing from the ATP Tour event in Rotterdam. The British number one is continuing to recover from the hip problem that forced him to pull out during his fourth-round clash with Carlos Alcaraz in Melbourne and is next planning to compete in Doha in two weeks' time.
