The image depicts a vast, arid desert landscape dominated by a massive city built atop a hill. The city features architecture with an oriental or Arabic style, consisting of numerous structures in earthy and sandy tones. At the top, a large golden dome stands out, likely a central or religious building. Tall, slender towers rise from the city, adding a majestic appearance to the scene. In the foreground, two figures dressed in long robes and hooded garments walk toward the city, leaning on staffs. Their attire seems suited to protect them from the desert sun. Further along the path, several travelers can be seen, some riding animals like camels or horses, heading toward the city. The sunlight, with warm orange and golden tones, bathes the entire scene, emphasizing the heat and the inhospitable nature of the desert surrounding the imposing city.
