Description
Side view of a dhow (sailboat) moored along the shore of Bahrain Island. A dhow, possibly a boom, is moored in the sea facing into the left distance. The dhow has two masts, and the stern deck is covered with a cloth canopy. The sea around the dhow is rippled by gentle waves, and in the distance three dhows are moored in the water beneath a cloudless sky. In the far distance trees and a few buildings line a far shore along the horizon.
