Description
View of Muhammad's encampment in the Ramlat ar Rabbad sands near Bir al Tawil. Three people stand beside a small striped goat-hair tent which has been pitched amongst sand dunes next to a few dry bushes. In the sand around the tent lay a number of items of clothing and equipment. Dunes surround the tent in all directions, and in the far distance a lone figure walks down a sloping dune toward the tent. Wilfred Thesiger and his men stayed with Muhammad, a sheikh of the Rashid Bedouin, and his family for a few days during their first crossing of the Empty Quarter (Rub' al Khali) in December 1946.

Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were archived by the Pitt Rivers Museum.
