Description
View of water sellers unloading imported water from a dhow (sailboat) at the harbour in Kuwait City. In the foreground one man stands in the tide holding a small rowboat. Beside him a second man perches on the bow of the boat. Nearby two donkeys and a mule stand in the tide, waiting to be loaded with water skins. Behind them more dhows are moored in shallow water close to shore.
