Description
View of a member of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party sitting on a camel in Al Humrah sands during the party's journey to Umm az Zumul. In the foreground waves of secondary dunes ripple a sloping sand dune. Just beyond one of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions pauses on his camel on the slope of the dune, facing towards the right. The man carries a rifle under his arm and holds the head rope for his camel. Behind him, low rolling downs fill the distance to the far horizon.
