View of a man at ... Special OrdersView of a man at the watchtower at Al Maqta, a stretch of water that separates Abu Dhabi Island from the mainland. Water fills the foreground, surrounding a round watchtower on all sides. The watchtower is built from stone and is situated on a rocky island in the centre of the image. A man climbs a rope up the face of the tower towards an opening above him. In the far background a number of large rocky outcroppings are visible in the right distance.

All the men are wearing ghutra (headscarves) and thobe (long shirts) with cartridge belts and khanjar (daggers)
