View of Wilfred Thesiger's party ... Frame:noneView of Wilfred Thesiger's party watering at a falaj (irrigation channel) at the southern end of Jabal Hafit, near Al Qabil. In the near distance a large number of men and camels gather around a walled trough at a falaj. In the far distance Jabal Hafit (Jebel Hafeet) rises high above the horizon. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage that occurred before they were archived by the Pitt Rivers Museum.
