A Desert Cow Boy in SharjahIn a land where your eyes feast on sand dunes and extensive desert sands, one cannot imagine the existence of a western cowboy. Yet the same is true in Sharjah, one of the seven Emirates of the UAE. For the Sharjah residents he is a well know person. Come rain, mist, winter or merciless sunshine, the ever familiar figure of a man with military trousers, a heavy coat over a layer of a shirt and a sweater , a cap on his balding head and his little personal belongings in a discarded supermarket trolley is true of the DESERT COWBOY. He resembles Charlie Chaplin playing the Tramp. Nobody actually knows his real name. But to the residents, he is simply known as COWBOY.

But he has the distinction of assisting the Sharjah Police in directing traffic during peak hours, helps in as day-time security for selective buildings and also teaches little children Arabic. read more.
