View of a woman walking ... Alfred MaudslayView of a woman walking along on a street in the city of Dubai. A woman in black walks along a narrow street in the shade of a fence made from palm fronds. Nearby a man watches her walk past. Two storey houses topped with covered porches line the opposite side of the street behind him.
