Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party travelling towards a salt flat in Liwa oasis. In the central foreground two men from Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party, tribesmen of the Bayt Imani lineage of Rashid Bedouin, walk along the crest of a dune with their camels. In the distance beyond the men, a few more ridges of dunes rise in front of a large salt flat (sabkha). A cluster of thick vegetation grows along the far edge of the salt flat, where the flat is bordered by high, sheer-sided dune massifs.
