Description
View of locals and Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party at a well during their journey from Jabal Sumeini to Sharjah. Four Bedouin men stand around a well opening made of concrete or rammed earth. The two men on the right hold long ropes for hauling water. A number of camels and men wait in the background behind the well. Trees and shrubs grow on sand dune in the distance.
