The photos depict images of boats and coastal life in and around Dubai's harbour, two women wearing abayas with hijabs and niqabs, walking in a desert plain of Sharjah, as well as desert dwellings and ports and boardwalks in Sharjah. This collection gives us a glimpse of the Dubai and Sharjah before the construction boom that started in the 1970s. Overall an intriguing collection in very good condition, capturing the coastal and desert life of a bygone era.
