View of two of Wilfred Thesiger's Bedouin companions at a watchtower in Al Ain/Buraimi oasis. On the right two men with rifles sit on a ruined wall beside a large bush. The foundations of the wall lead towards a two storey watchtower in the centre distance. Behind the watchtower on the far left is a date palm grove. A vast flat plain carpeted with sparse grass and tufts of vegetation fills the far distance behind the watchtower. This image was taken during April 6-30, 1948, when Wilfred Thesiger stayed at Al Muwaiji fort in Al Ain as a guest of Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan.
