Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's party trekking across dunes in Al Humrah sands during their journey to Umm az Zumul. In the foreground ripples of secondary dunes mark the surface of a near sand dune. Just beyond three of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions ride in a line along a sand ridge dotted by clumps of vegetation. Near the top of the ridge a bare tree rises out of a depression on the dune.
