Description
Distant view of a camel belonging to Wilfred Thesiger's party grazing in Al Batin sands in the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali). The camel is walking across a large expanse of soft sand dotted with sparse vegetation. It is laden with baggage and is wearing a head rope. At the left is a large salt flat (sabkha). In the far distance high dunes border the flat.
