View of two of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling companions resting in camp north of Al Ain, near the Dhahir mountains, during the party's journey from Al Ain to Ramlat Unayq. A man sits in the central foreground beside a pile of camel blankets. A bearded Arab man, one of Wilfred Thesiger's guides and a retainer to Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, stands on the right, next to a large feathery bush. Each man wears a cartridge belt over his thobe (long shirt). Equipment, blankets and pots lie in the sand surrounding the men. Behind them a vast expanse of sand dotted with vegetation leads to a steep, rock face of a high mountain in the far distance.
