Description
Distant view of dhows moored along the shore of Bahrain Island. In the near left two small dhows are moored alongside a boom, a large double masted dhow (sailboat) built in Kuwait, in wind-rippled water. At the centre a rowboat is tied to the stern of one of the dhows. In the distance many more booms and dhows are moored in the water in front of a far shore lined with trees and buildings.
