View of Wilfred Thesiger's party ... Sue JohnsonView of Wilfred Thesiger's party travelling in the Al Khatam sands south of Al Ain, on their journey towards Al Humrah sands.

In the central background four of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions ride camels in a line along the lee side of a long low sand dune. A few tall trees grow on the dunes surrounding them, and in the distance low rolling dunes
