SHARJAH LABOUR CAMP, UAE
January, 2014
Pictures taken during a day visiting labour camps in the desert in Sharjah, one of the emirates that makes up the UAE. These are the men who are building Dubai. They are driven by bus from the camps - about 30km into the desert - to Dubai each day. The camps are primitive. The men live five or six to a room and cook in a small communal kitchen. They wash outside and there seems little to do in the way of entertainment.
