View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling ... Thesiger CollectionView of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party reunited at Boi well in the Jiddat al Harasis. A large group of Bedouin men sit in a circle in front of a cave in a rock hillside. This picture was taken at Boi when Wilfred Thesiger's smaller crossing party rejoined the larger Bedouin expedition party lead by Sultan bin Ahmad and Salim bin Tamtaim. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before

In the right foreground a palm grows on a large sand flat

Above the dhows the sky is cloudless

stands in the centre of a camp beside a couched camel

Four Maids of Honour and two assistants who will serve chang or barley beer to the Yaso officials at the ceremony of the Preparation of the Camp at Lubu

In the background clumps of vegetation grow scattered on a flat depression between sand dunes

A third man sits to the left of the standing boys

The main routes into the town are clearly visible

and a silver khanjar (dagger) on a belt around his waist

the 'hair is worn in this way so long as they remain unmarried
