View of a member of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party trekking through dunes in Al Batin sands during their journey across the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali) from Al Dhafra sands to Liwa oasis. The man, a tribesman of the Bayt Imani lineage of Rashid Bedouin, rides a camel through an area of bare, softly rolling dunes. A baggage camel follows behind the man, tethered to the back of his mount. Behind the man a high expanse of wind-rippled dunes is highlighted by the sun.
