Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's party resting at a falaj (irrigation channel) at the southern end of Jabal Hafit, near Al Qabil. A number of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions gather with their camels at a falaj in the midst of a large flat plain. The falaj is covered with stones. In the far background a number of trees grow on the flat below Jabal Hafit (Jebel Hafeet), which rises in the distance.
