View of Wilfred Thesiger's party at a well near Al Hubi village. In the foreground a number of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin travelling companions stand around a well. On the left one man lifts up a bag of water for a camel to drink from. On the right two members of the party pull water from a well that has been reinforced with wood. Around them other members of the party stand with camels beside a tree. In the distance beyond a vast sand flat stretches out to the far horizon.
