This was taken at Al Seef in Dubai, and I think I would have liked the shot anyway, but the fact that they're all standing on one leg meant that this was a shot I couldn't resist.

hey, i've been a big (if quiet) fan for a long time. keep up the good work.

in other news, i wanted to point out this site using your photos. they credit you by name, but no link, and i have a feeling they don't have your consent for it.

I really like the juxtaposition of the flag and the men. Well done.

:)
I can imagine a different shot, just showing their three legs, if you had moved a little bit towards your right side.
I wouldn´t have been able to resist either!

Well observed! The Dubai equivalent of propping up the bar.

these 3arabs remind me spending my last weekend in the historical city of perspolis. there where 3arab tourists walking on the white rock ground of parse ancient city, my friend took a great shot from them. arabs and perspolis in a photo is a perfect paradox for me unlike arabs in dubai tha is a perfect match.

These men are Sikhs not Arabs. They are from Northern India are are just visiting whatever country this was taken. it's pretty rude to label someone without full knowledge of who they are.

observer: yes, they are Sikhs, but they probably do live in Dubai; i.e. 80% of the population are not Arabs.
