In February 2001 we visited Dubai on a stopover to Pakistan. We strolled around the city in the nice winter climate of the Arabian peninsula and came across these local workmen having a well-deserved siesta on the tools of their trade, the trolleys they use to transport goods around the city. What struck me was the way they seemed to be waiting outside the closed shoestore in the background - which they could surely use, judging from the plastic sandals parked under the trolleys.
