Sambuk

Sambuk (ultimately from Middle Persian sambūk), known in New Persian as Sunbūk (سنبوک) and in Arabic as Sambūk (سنبوك), Sambūq (سنبوق) and Ṣumbūq (صنبوق), is a type of dhow, a traditional wooden sailing vessel. It has a characteristic keel design, with a sharp curve right below the top of the prow. Formerly sambuks had ornate carvings.
