Door to nowhere

This is a residential compound located on the water-filled wadi. I couldn't quite figure out the purpose of the beautiful door, which opens up onto a sheer drop.

All you need is a ladder. Just made for elopement! (Just being facetious.) Escape route for politically sensitive times?

How odd - maybe someone ran out of money. I really like the multi textured wall V

Fascinating shot. It looks like an oasis with the palm trees, and the door onto a sheer drop is very puzzling! V

It's a beautiful if puzzling door. Wonderful scene with the walls and trees. V.

Interesting placement of a door, Helen! It is well placed in your excellent composition, but perhaps not for those who proceed before knocking! V.
