Port Rashid Tug Boats assist the QE2 into Port Rashid for her first ever visit to Dubai in 1997.

QE2 making her way into Port Rashid's inner basin.
QE2 had to be turned around so the ship was able to sail from Port Rashid.
Port Rashid has limited space to turn the QE2 in. These were anxious moments for the Port Rashid Pilot.
The turnaround was a success!
QE2 was berthed safely alongside Quay 2. The Passenger Terminal had yet to be built so the passengers disembarked into buses. Meanwhile Port Rashid continued cargo operations as usual.
