A man walks in front of a traditional wooden ships (lenj), laid ashore for restoration, in Iran's touristic Qeshm island in the Gulf, on April 29, 2023. From Muscat to Bandar Abbas via Dubai, the potbellied silhouette of the lenjs is part of the maritime landscape of the Middle East, just like that of the sailing dhows of the Arabian Peninsula.
