Description
View of coral and 'arish huts in Dubai. In the foreground two people walk past high stacks of coral sitting in the sand. Behind them a compound of 'arish huts, made from palm fronds, are enclosed by a large fence. Behind the huts is a large two storey building, likely made of coral. It has high arches and a number of wind towers (barjeel) atop its roof.
