A small baqqarah is moored in shallow water with its sails tied down to its yard

They are followed by a forth member of the party leading two camels on foot

View of buildings at the fortress town of Shahra

A well at Umm al Khashab

holding on to rigging ropes

In the far right distance a second line of parallel dunes stretches into the horizon

one of whom is wearing a waistcoat over his thobe (ankle-length shirt)

a man sits leaning against the side of the boat

In the foreground a peregrine falcon

At the back of the dhow a cloth covered awning is blown by the wind

The men haul water from the well via ropes and pulleys attached to the wooden frame over the well

He wears cartridge belt suspenders over his thobe (long shirt)
