Portrait of three members of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party cooking in camp during their journey from Al Ain to Liwa, likely in the region of Al Humrah sands. Three men surround a cooking fire with a large metal pot on it. On the left one man squats on the ground, stoking the fire with a stick. On the right Salim bin Kabina, a tribesman of the Bayt Imani lineage of the Rashid Bedouin, stands bent over, looking into the cooking pot. In the near foreground Musallim bin Al Kamam, a sheikh of the Musaifar lineage of Rashid Bedouin, kneels in the sand alongside some supplies, holding a spoon above the pot. Spread in front of the fire are a number of pots, bags, and dishes. This image was taken during Wilfred Thesiger's journey from Al Ain to Liwa oasis, Al Dhafra and Baynunah sands in November and December 1948.
