I've always been fascinated by how economical people in the UAE are with available shade. Even the slightest shadow from a tree will be employed for relief from the sun and heat; it's something we all observe but it's often tricky to actually capture in a photograph.
This image by The National's Jaime Puebla of a man having lunch in a small strip of shade perfectly sums up the art of staying cool.
