Description
View of Salim bin Kabina, a member of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party, in Al Humrah sands during the party's journey to Umm az Zumul. Salim bin Kabina, a tribesman of the Bayt Imani lineage of Rashid Bedouin, walks through a patch of vegetation, likely qassis (sedge), growing beside a dune. Nearby camel blankets lie in a pile on the sand. In the distance beyond three of the party's camels graze in the sand.
