Sambuk (ultimately from Middle Persian ), known in New Persian as Sunbūk and in Arabic as Sambūk , Sambūq and Ṣumbūq , 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.
