Description
View of a limestone ravine on Jebel Hafeet [Jabal Hafit] mountain. In the foreground two walls of limestone form a ravine on Jebel Hafeet [Jabal Hafit] mountain. On the left the ravine wall rises steeply, while on the opposite right side it slopes softly upward. In the far background jagged walls of limestone rise into a high ridge. Wilfred Thesiger spent a week on Jebel Hafeet [Jabal Hafit] hunting Arabian Tahr [Hemitragus jayakari] with Arab and Bedouin guides in April 1948.
