Description
View of an Arab man, a retainer in Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan's hunting party, with a camel in the sands near Al Ain. In the near distance an Arab man stands next to a couched camel. Equipment and supplies lie in the sand to the right of the camel. In the distance beyond scattered vegetation grows on a vast dry plain. In the far distance high cliffs, likely those of Jebel Hafeet (Jabal Hafit), rise high above the horizon in the far background.
