Description
View of a fort in Al Buraimi oasis, possibly Al Khandaq Fort. In the foreground large date palms and low bushes grow at the bottom of a sand hill. Further back one of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions stands holding a rifle on his shoulder in front of a fort. The fort has large round watchtowers at each corner of the fort and a walled trench that runs around its exterior.
