Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party trekking across sand dunes in Liwa oasis. In the left foreground three of Wilfred Thesiger's Rashid Bedouin companions lead camels across sand dotted with tufts of qassis (sedge). Two of the men lead their camels on foot while a third man rides. Further ahead of them in the right background another two members of the party ride their camels towards distant rippled dunes and a salt flat. 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.
