View of two men standing in front of houses in the city of Dubai. Two men wearing waistcoats over their thobes (long shirts) and holding camel sticks stand in the midst of a wide bare courtyard. Behind them on the left are a number of one, two and three storied house, some of which are crowned with wooden scaffolding. In the far background, a wooden barjeel (wind tower) rises high above the houses.
