Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's party resting under ghaf trees north of Al Ain oasis. Three of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling companions rest with a camel in the shade of two tall ghaf trees [Prosopis cineraria]. A few camels graze on the grass and bushes surrounding the tree. Just behind the men, on the right, a fourth man sits under a small camel. In the distance beyond large trees grow on a far hill.
