Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's party travelling in the Al Khatam sands south of Al Ain, on their journey towards Al Humrah sands. In the foreground a few tufts of vegetation grow on the side of a sand dune rippled by the wind. In the left distance beyond, three of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions ride camels beside a far low dune. On the right the curved crests of two nearer dunes rise up above the lower sands surrounding them. A few tall trees grow amongst the dunes, and in the distance low rolling dunes stretch out across the horizon.
