Description
Group portrait of four members of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party camping in the Wadi Thu'ayt. Four of Wilfred Thesiger's Bayt Kathir Bedouin guides sit in a circle around a fire. The man on the left is stirring one of the three pots sitting on the fire. In the far distance the sandy wadi bed stretches out to a low rock escarpment running along the horizon.
