Description
Seated portrait of Salim bin Ghabaisha, one of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions, in Ras Al Khaimah Emirate. Salim bin Ghabaisha, a tribesman of the Bayt Imani lineage of the Rashid Bedouin, squats on a rock holding a rifle in his hands. He wears cartridge belt suspenders over his thobe (long shirt), and his long hair hangs down around his shoulders, beneath his headscarf.
