View of dhows (sailboats) and an abra (ferry boat) on Dubai Creek. On the left three dhows are moored together. On the far right a man stands bent over in the shallow water. Behind him porters load rolled palm frond mats into a heavily loaded abra. In the far distance dhows and two storey buildings line the shores of Dubai Creek.
