Two of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling companions

holding his hand out over the rope

one in a boat and the other sitting on a mud bank

In one hand the falconer holds a hood for the falcon

sits in the sand holding onto the wakir with one hand

looking into the foreground over a near stone post topped with a cloth sun shade

View of a high stone mountain in the Al Hasa Oasis near Al Hofuf

are docked in a line along the creek in a break between two houses

View of two Samburu moran (warriors)

When the stone point becomes dull it is sharpened by flaking the tip in the same manner that flint arrow points are made

The two villages are only separated by a break in the mesa
