View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling ... IndiaView of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party trekking through Al Dhafra sands during their journey across the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali) from Dhibi well to Al Batin sands. Two of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling companions, tribesmen of the Bayt Imani lineage of Rashid Bedouin, ride camels along the crest of a dune in the distance. Baggage camels follow along behind the men's mounts. A vast area of rolling dunes spreads out around them in all
