Description
View of a mosque at Al Muwaiji Fort, then the home of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan. A low, flat-roofed square mosque with a walled terrace and arched entranceways sits in the foreground. Behind the mosque the high walls of Al Muwaiji Fort fill the background. On the right a man walks past the square corner tower of the fort, which rises high above the mosque. In the far left background men sit with their camels along the fort's walls.
