Description
Side view of a j?lb?t [jalboot], a type of dhow (sailboat) with a square-shaped stern and an upright bow, moored along the shore of Bahrain Island. The j?lb?t sits in calm water rippled by gentle waves below a cloudless sky. A large cloth canopy covers the deck over the stern. In the left background dhow sits in the water, and further beyond tall buildings line the far shore.
