Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's party travelling in the Al Khatam sands south of Al Ain, on their journey towards Al Humrah sands. A line of tracks leads from the near foreground across a vast dune slope to into the distance. In the central background four of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions ride camels in a line along the lee side of a long low sand dune. A few tall trees grow on the dunes surrounding them, and in the distance low rolling dunes stretch out across the horizon.
