Description
View of water sellers unloading imported water from a dhow (sailboat) at the harbour in Kuwait City. In the foreground two water sellers head through the tide towards one of two booms, Kuwaiti-built trading vessels. On the left a small boat loaded with filled water skins bobs in the water. Further back a group of transport donkeys wait in the water beside the dhow.
