Wilfred Thesiger spent a week on Jebel Hafeet [Jabal Hafit] hunting Arabian Tahr [Hemitragus jayakari] with Arab and Bedouin guides in April 1948

a tribesman of the Wahiba Bedouin

The boy is playing with one of a few model boats which float in the water around them

holding a rifle over his shoulder

holding a double-stringed bow used to shoot stones

The people have gathered to celebrate the festival of Eid at the end of Ramadan

and his long hair hangs down around his shoulders beneath his headscarf

sits beside a tree in an expanse of sand

It the far distance a high mountain rises above the plain

with their falcon and its quarry
