The Sultan's Palace sits on the right. It is comprised of two large multi storey buildings, each one painted with thick alternating horizontal stripes.

they are both preparing for the priesthood

Behind them more furniture

one of them stands in the bow holding a long five-pronged fishing spear

taken from the top of the Kachi Kuni Pass

The bustard lies on its back in the sand

crouches in the sand in front of a tree

near the Yemen Border

in Ras Al Khaimah Emirate

with a boy asleep in front of her

In the far distance

while in the far right background a girl in a dark abaya leads a camel by the neck

the ends are then sewed together
