Portrait of Sheikh Hazaa bin ...

Portrait of Sheikh Hazaa bin Sultan Al Nahyan with a number of men on a dhow (sailboat) in the Abu Dhabi islands. At the far right, Sheikh Hazaa bin Sultan Al Nahyan stands on the deck of a sailboat, looking at a number of people seated on the deck. He is wearing a white headscarf topped with a thick dark 'agal (head rope) and a dark bisht (outer robe). Behind him a man holds on to the boat's awning frame with two hands. A long narrow flag flies from a post at the back of the awning. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's week and a half long sailing trip around the Abu Dhabi Islands with Sheikh Hazaa bin Sultan Al Nahyan, Sheikh Khalid bin Sultan Al Nahyan and their retainers in March 1948.
