Loading a Dhow

Mostafa and his friend lead a hard life on rough seas in a small wooden vessel. Dhows usually carry open cargo to African countries, Middle Eastern countries, Iran, India and Pakistan. Here you see some of the crew loading the vessel due to sail the next evening. Photographed at Sharjah, UAE.
