A horizontally oriented color lithograph depicts a vast cityscape from an elevated, rocky slope on the left. In the foreground, figures and a camel gather near a stone archway beside white buildings with wooden balconies. Slender minarets and domes rise across the sandy middle ground toward a distant fortress atop a long ridge. A pale sky hangs over the scene, which is rendered in muted ochre, cream, and gray tones.
