Description
View of a house with a large wind tower (barjeel) in Dubai. In the foreground a large compound of 'arish huts, made from palm fronds, are enclosed by a palm frond fence. Behind the compound a tall building, likely built of coral and with a large barjeel on its roof, towers high above the 'arish compound. Date palms and other trees grow in the building's inner courtyard.
