Interior of a dilapidated old mosque in Farasan

Kunhi Muhammed and his life in the island surprised me a lot. From the Indian state of Kerala, he is completing 25 years in the island as a caretaker of an old coastal resort uninhabited with a vast area of lifeless plain. He is riding a 50% corroded (due to the interaction with the sea) 1985 model Land Cruiser. It still runs 50 km per hour.

He speaks to the fish in the sea and to gazelles that appear in the beach at dawn. A Saudi version of Robinson Crusoe.

Though an archaeological site, this mosque carries out regular prayers. It has beautiful engravings on its interior and exterior walls.

A silent setting of the sun in the island.

The island is one of the natural reserves of Arabian gazelles under the supervision of NCWCD (National Commission for Wildlife Conservation and Development)
