Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party trekking in Liwa oasis. In the central foreground four of Wilfred Thesiger's Rashid Bedouin companions ride their camels across a patch of bare sand sand dotted with a few small sprigs of vegetation. On the right Warad, the party's saluki dog, trots along beside them. Behind them a large salt flat covered with salt bush sits below a high dune rising on the left. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's journey from Al Ain to Liwa oasis, Al Dhafra and Baynunah sands in November and December 1948.
