Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party camping in the shade of two trees during their journey from the Ramlat Unayq, north of Al Ain/Buraimi oasis, to Jabal Sumeini. On the left a member of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party loads one of two camels couched in the shade of a tall tree. Pots, a rifle and blankets are scattered on the ground under the tree. On the right, behind another tree, a few more camels rest in the shade. In the background a vast rocky plain leads to a far rocky mountain.
