What is the location? (Architecture looks Morroccan to me and there's a camel in the background.) Man in photo left Russia impoverished, which is how he arrived in the U.S. about 10 years before this photo was taken. Wondering if he earned enough money (and nice clothes) to travel and if this could have been a stop on way back to Russia for family visit?

6/25/2021 9:50 PM can't really tell of course but could have been Hollywood or some eastern themed place in the west. Interesting that he would not have labelled a picture taken in an exotic place.
