View of Wilfred Thesiger's party ... Arabia

View of Wilfred Thesiger's party ... ArabiaView of Wilfred Thesiger's party riding near the wells in Wadi Shalhamit, west of Habarut. In the near distance men ride a line of camels in single file along the rocky bottom of a wadi. The wadi is closely flanked on either side by sloping hillsides. In the distance a steep cliff rises to a high plateau that overlooks the wadi. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were

A large salt flat (sabkha) dotted with sparse tufts of vegetation stretches from the foreground into the distance

To the left of the high dunes is a vast area of open sand in which a few clusters of salt bushes grow

Another girl and a baby are visible in the background

In the village a number of square flat-roofed houses built of stone sit at the foot of a pointed rock outcrop

Seated from left to right: Dagg

In the distance beyond the dune continues to rise higher into a crescent shaped crest on the right
