Barjeel

Air conditioning two ways: the wee electric box bottom right (ubiquitous in every domestic and retail venue south of Kingussie), and the slightly older version - the Barjeel - that catches the wind from four sides and channels it down into the house (this is the al-Maktoum household roof). Another warm day in the UAE - 40+ degrees. I was the only Daz-white presence in the Deira souk this afternoon
