Description
View of two Bedouin men in Wilfred Thesiger's party loading a camel in the Ramlat ar Rabbad sands. In the foreground two of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions stand on either side of a couched camel. One of the men adjusts the camel's saddle while the other watches. In the sand beside them a large pile of gear lies on the left. In the background a few small tufts of vegetation grow in an area of flat sand.
