Description
View of a Bani Yas date palm grove and settlement near Radum in Liwa oasis. In the foreground a number of young date palms grow on a sand flat alongside small salt bushes. Just behind a small ridge larger, established date palms grow in rows. In the distance beyond the flat two groups of 'arish huts, made of saaf (palm fronds), sit on the slope of a high dune. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's journey from Al Ain to Liwa oasis, Al Dhafra and Baynunah sands in November and December 1948.
