Description
View of a member of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party standing in country north of Al Ain/Buraimi oasis in the area between Ramlat Unayq and Jabal Sumeini. An Arab guide in Wilfred Thesiger's party stands in the midst of a vast rocky plant left of a large tree. The tree's top branches grow in the shape of an inverted triangle. Scattered patches of dry grass grow on the rocky plain, and in the far distance a jagged mountain rises above the horizon.
