Side view of two dhows ... Arabia

Side view of two dhows ... ArabiaSide view of two dhows moored along the shore of Bahrain Island. In the foreground a small dhow sits in calm wind rippled water alongside a moored boom. The main sail of the dhow is raised, and a few men stand in the boat alongside the sail. Behind it a tall boom, a large double masted dhow (sailboat) built in Kuwait, sits in the water. A rowboat is tied to the stern of the boom. Above the dhows the sky is cloudless. Due to the nature of these images,
