Description
In the Emirates laborers who have come from other countries without their families are summarily called �bachelors�, regardless of their marital status. These men don�t have an easy existence far away from their loved ones. They often live quite frugally and remit much of their earnings back home to support family. On weekends the �bachelors� congregate at favorite places such as the Ajman waterfront. Here they watch the fishermen, play beach cricket, or simply hang out with friends. In this image, expat laborers crouch on a wall looking out to the Gulf, as if they envied the birds who are free to fly home.
