Description
View of one of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions at a fort in Al Ain / Al Buraimi oasis. On the right a Bedouin man (possibly Musallim bin Al Kamam, a sheikh of the Musaifar lineage of Rashid Bedouin) walks past a large tree on the left, towards a fort with a three storey square watchtower. Beneath the tree on the left is a palm frond fence.
