    Trader

    TraderFor thousands of years, traders have plied the waters of the Persian Gulf, braving pirates, warships, and sudden storms in wooden cargo boats called dhows.

    Hussein Ralib Esfandiari is one such trader, crossing back and forth between Dubai and his native Iran laden with whatever bargains he can find at market.

    The Gulf is one of the most politically volatile regions on earth. But politics is the least of Hussein’s worries.
