View of an empty street ... Afghanistan

View of an empty street ... AfghanistanView of an empty street lined with shops in the city of Jeddah. In the background a few people stand in front of one of the shops. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were archived by the Pitt Rivers Museum.

Marshlands behind the Potala appear to be flooded and people can be seen walking along a narrow path

In the left distance a dhow (sailboat) sails up Dubai Creek

holding a peregrine falcon perched on a mangalah (cuff) he wears on his hand

an awning is covered with white cloth

Pieces of coral have been piled up on in mounds surrounding the path

Tufts of vegetation grow across the sands into the far distance

heavily loaded dhow (sailboat) are beached in the sand

as but few of the dwellings exceed two stor[ey]s

Buildings line either side of the street

View of the bow of a beached sambuk (sailboat) under repair beached at Al Ma'ala harbour in the city of Aden
