The party is travelling from Al Ain to Jabal Sumeini. In the right foreground a man wearing a thobe (long shirt) and ghutra (headscarf) stands on a dune. He has a rifle slung across his chest. In the near distance a second man rides a camel across rolling sands dotted with tufts of vegetation. In the distance beyond a vast rocky plain spreads out below a far mountain.
