Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party trekking in the Ramlat ar Rabbad sands. In the foreground two Bedouin men walk with their camels along the top of a sloping sand dune, heading towards the foreground. Behind them a third member of the party follows. The sand dune is dotted with vegetation. In the far background a stretch of flat sand lies on the right, possibly a sabkha (salt flat), lies in the distance.
