Description
View of locals strolling through a suq (market) in the city of Dubai. Locals walk through a wide thoroughfare in a closed market. A canopy made from palm fronds casts shade over the thoroughfare. The wooden doors of near merchant stalls are closed and padlocked. In the background locals stand in a queue in front of an open shop.
