Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party making camp in the Wadi al 'Ayn during their journey towards the Ramlat al Ghirbaniyat. In the near central distance five of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions relax in camp. On the right a low stand of bushes shields the camp, which is in the midst of a vast flat plain. Piles of blankets and equipment lie in the sand around the camp. In the far left distance a low line of dunes rises just above the horizon.
