We walked along the Arabian Sea the other day. Now when I hear "Arabian Sea" I envisage white sands, palm trees, wild black stallions racing over the beach, and sea so blue your heart aches to see it. The photo shows a slightly different but nonethelessintriguing picture.
People wash their laundry in the ocean and dry it by laying it flat on the ground. As you walk along the beach you notice these very large square areas blocked off with stones. When the tide recedes, these square areas retain the sea water. My assumption is that the people wash clothes in these large areas and leave them on the rocky shore to dry.
I think that some of the people do this as a job - now how enterprising is that? No cost but the labor.
The other photo shows arrows pointing to these rocks squares. The red circle is around 2 people so you get an idea of how big the squares are. I can't believe this huge area was made just for washing clothes - it is obviously man made but what could the areas have been made for?P.S. click on the photo to see it enlarged

Dude...You weren't kidding...those squares are very curious!
They could be made to produce salt by evaporation of seawater... Arturo
