View of two of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions resting under a tree in Al Ain / Buraimi oasis

Each man wears a khanjar (dagger) on a cartridge belt over his thobe (long shirt)

The young man kneels in a field of grass

ride across a large salt flat (sabkha) with their baggage camels

People walk through the tide which has risen almost to the 'arish huts

His hands are clasped together in his lap on top of his dark bisht (robe) which he wears over a light coloured thobe (long shirt)

A man stands on the deck

The whole length of the wall surrounding Gyantse can be seen in this image

The man at the front of the line walks

while another two wait for their turn to drink

kneel in pebbly ground

On the left one man crouches next to the mast
