In the distance beyond a large two storey house is topped with a few high wind towers (barjeel)

Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions walk alongside their camels in a line across low rolling sands dotted with tufts of vegetation

In the foreground at the far right a man sits on deck

Three coffee urns and a kettle lie beside the fire in front of them

He kneels on the ground

Behind the men a lantern hangs from the cloth-covered frame of the boat's awning

In the far distance sand dunes rise high up across the horizon below a cloudless sky
