Description
View of three men in a small dhow (sailboat) along Shindagha beach in Dubai. Two men work at the centre of the boat, next to the mast, while a third man pulls up the mooring rope at the bow. The dhow's sails are tied down along the yard. Behind them the sea stretches out empty and uninterrupted to the far horizon.
