Description
View of dhows (sailboats) moored in Dubai Creek. An area of flat open water in the foreground is crossed by a thick mooring rope attached to a large dhow. On the left many more dhows are moored in shallow water or beached on the sandy banks of the creek. In the background a few single storey houses and a large two storey house with tall windows sit on the sand a bit back from the creek. In the far distance on the right more houses are visible on the far side of the creek.
