Description
View of Wilfred Thesiger's party trekking across dunes in Al Humrah sands during their journey to Umm az Zumul. In the foreground a line of tracks leads up the side of a wind-rippled dune into the far distance, where Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions walk with their camels. Beyond them rolling dunes rise along the horizon below a cloudless sky.
