Nicely captured. Looks like backgammon to me.

I wish I knew Arabic! That's an interesting concept - the chair becomes a signpost for the photograph and gives it a secondary title. Just out of curiosity, what's the name of the coffee shop?

You are right Becky, it is a chair, and what made me keep in place two things: it has an arabic writing with a very naive font, tells the name of the coffee shop, and second I liked the repetition of the horizontal lines of the chairs and the arms, and the pipes mouth pieces on the left corner, leading the eye to that guy who is looking back to you, making the eye moves from inside and outwards dynamically.
I don't know, but this is what I felt when I took the shot.

What is the object in the lower right corner? Is it a chair? Could you have moved it? It doesn't seem to fit into the scene and I find it a bit distracting.
That said, I really enjoy this photo and the fact you decided to go for a long exposure - it captures the bustle of the scene quite nicely. I also like the warm tones in the foreground, but I think my favourite part of the photo is the guy looking on with interest in the background. I feel much the same way!

I always think it's a shame that a pic can't donate sounds and smells of a place. Many times I stop me in the streets, listening to music bands and I wish I could catcht in a shot even this magic atmosphere.
You successed in it. You image donate a feeling of reality.
Thanks to sharing with us these carachteristic people features of your country, I love it.
