View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party at a well during their journey from Jabal Sumeini to Sharjah. A lone camel stands on the left, looking at a group of men and camels clustered around a well opening on the right. In the centre left is a water trough made of mud, against which two rifles rest. In the far distance, trees and shrubs grow on a high sand dune.
