Description
View of a ruined watchtower on the shore in the town of Ras Al Khaimah. In the foreground fishing nets are spread out to dry on the sand. On the left a man sits beside a watchtower in a state of disrepair. To the right of the watchtower a fisherman sits beneath a drying rack made of wood. Fishing boats are moored in the creek, and in the far distance the Ru'us Al Jibal mountains rise high above the horizon.
