Description
View of a pathway between tall houses in Dubai. A dirt pathway cuts through an area of rubble in a neighbourhood of tall buildings. At the centre a woman walks past two columns standing next to a house, while to the right a pile of rubble sits next to the path. The buildings have multiple storeys, and many have wind towers (barjeel) on their roofs. Wooden grates and bars cover the buildings' windows.
