Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's party travelling in Al Khatam or Al Humrah sands south of Al Ain. In the near distance Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin travelling companions walk with their camels in a line across low rolling downs, heading into the far distance. Beyond low rolling downs continue to the horizon, stretching below a vast cloudless sky.
