Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's party camping with Duru Bedouin in the Wadi al 'Ayn. In the near foreground a camel is couched in the sand. Just behind three men fix the loads on two couched camels, while further back a few more couched camels rest in the sand. A man wearing a striped suit jacket, likely a tribesman of the Duru Bedouin, stands to the left of the men, holding a camel stick. In the background a number of Duru Bedouin men stand in an expanse of sand bordered by large trees and bushes.
