beneath which a man is sitting

the nakhoda or captain of the dhow on which Wilfred Thesiger travelled from Dubai to Bahrain Island

Further behind a man stands next to a similar boat

seated on a rock

which can be seen in the far right distance

sitting in camp near the Wadi Samhan

In the background Jabal Buwaydah rises high above the horizon in the distance

also the interior court around which the houses are built

In the distance beyond low crescent shaped dunes
