Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party making camp on a rocky plain during their journey from the Ramlat Unayq, north of Al Ain/Buraimi oasis, to Jabal Sumeini. In the foreground three members of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party stand on either side of a large tree in the midst of a vast flat plain. Gear is scattered around the camp. A rifle and some bags hang off branches of the tree. Scattered patches of grass grow on the dry ground. In the far distance a jagged mountain rises above the horizon.
