View of Sultan bin Ahmad ... George Dixon AkedView of Sultan bin Ahmad, one of the leaders of Wilfred Thesiger's travelling party, standing with a young boy and a man in a graveyard at Andhur. The men are standing in the midst of a graveyard. Sultan bin Ahmad, a sheikh of the Sh'asha lineage of Bayt Kathir Bedouin, stands to the left of the young boy. The graves are covered with piled stones. Upturned stones sit on the top of the graves. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce
In the foreground a dry bush pokes out of a sloping expanse of wind-rippled sand
A large expanse of water fills the area behind him

Three men stand around the opening of a well
are decorated with pearls of wisdom and a trident on the top
One man leads his camels down on foot
