Description

View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party at a well in the Ramlat al Ghirbaniyat (Ghirbaniyat Sands). In the foreground men are gathering water from the well for a number of camels waiting on the right. Musallim bin Al Kamam, a sheikh of the Musaifar lineage of Rashid Bedouin, sits in the central foreground. He is holding out a metal pan of water for the camels. In the background trees and bushes grow in the sand around the well.

Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were archived by the Pitt Rivers Museum.
