Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's party trekking across dunes in Al Humrah sands during their journey to Umm az Zumul. Two of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions ride between rolling sand dunes, heading from the near left foreground into the far distance. Each man's mount is followed by one or two baggage camels. Behind them a few dots of vegetation grow on a high sand dune, which rises to a peak on the right.
