A British style fairground ride named 'Extreme' is caught in time exposure mode, its revolving lights appearing like giant golden flames. Brightly lit signs and airbrush paintings provide a gaudy taste of the great British funfair, transplanted into the Middle East. A local woman and man stand with their backs to us, probably watching their children on the ride. The bright lights of the funfair echo the myriad of lights used to decorate UAE cities at Eid, though the airbrush paintings are definitely not in the traditional style of this part of the world.
