DAGHWAH

During my frequent visits to the region for photography and filmmaking, drawn by Fujairah's rugged mountainous terrain, I always made a pit stop in Kalba. Here, I encountered a curious sight: weathered pickup trucks scattered along the beach, their purpose shrouded in mystery. Despite their worn appearance, they seemed integral to the coastal landscape, bearing the marks of years spent battling the elements.
