View of Wilfred Thesiger's party ... Images of Wilfred ThesigerView of Wilfred Thesiger's party trekking across dunes in Al Humrah sands during their journey to Umm az Zumul. In the near distance three of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions ride across rolling sand dunes, heading towards the near foreground. Each man's mount is followed by a baggage camel. A few dots of vegetation grow in the sands surrounding them, while in the far distance rolling sand dunes continue along the horizon below a cloudless sky.
