View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling ... Type:unstretched canvasView of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party trekking through Al Batin sands during their journey across the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali) from Al Dhafra sands to Liwa oasis. Members of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party, tribesmen of the Bayt Imani lineage of Rashid Bedouin, ride across a large salt flat (sabkha) with their baggage camels. Behind the men a high dune massif with a sheer face borders the plain. In the foreground a lone bush grows in

In the distance many men sit on the deck of a dhow (sailboat) sailing through Dubai Creek

and below the opening is reenforced with concrete or rammed earth

A middle-aged man with a thin dark beard kneels in soft sand facing forward

both of whom are carrying bags on their backs

surrounded by several large piles of reeds and other boats

holding on to the boat's awning frame

in Ras Al Khaimah Emirate

In the foreground fishing nets are spread out to dry on the sand

maintaining the boat's balance with a pole

Each of the houses is topped with a barjeel (wind tower)
