View of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling ... Special OrdersView of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party trekking across sand dunes between oases in Liwa oasis. Scattered clumps of qassis (sedge) grow in a vast expanse of low rolling sand dunes. In the central distance three of Wilfred Thesiger's Rashid Bedouin companions ride camels across a low dune. Further beyond more dunes rises high above the horizon in the distance. Overhead the sky is empty of clouds. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's
