    A large crowd of hundreds of people is moving along a pathway or road in what appears to be an arid, desert-like environment. The crowd consists predominantly of men wearing a mix of traditional Middle Eastern garments (thobes, keffiyehs) and Western-style clothing. The setting appears to be an outdoor gathering or procession near earthen barriers or sandbag structures.
