Description
View of limestone cliffs atop Jebel Hafeet [Jabal Hafit] mountain. In the foreground small boulders lie on a slope, with a few tufts of vegetation growing between them. In the central background a steep limestone cliff, mostly bare of vegetation, rises above a rock ravine. Wilfred Thesiger spent a week on Jebel Hafeet [Jabal Hafit] hunting Arabian Tahr [Hemitragus jayakari] with Arab and Bedouin guides in April 1948.
