Full length portrait of one of Wilfred Thesiger's guides standing on a rock outcrop below Jebel Hafeet [Jabal Hafit] mountain. In the right foreground a man in an izaar (wraparound skirt), holding a ghutra (headscarf) over his head, stands on the edge of a rock. In the background a flat dotted with sparse vegetation sits below the high jagged limestone cliffs of Jebel Hafeet [Jabal Hafit]. The limestone cliffs slope across the far distance from high on the left to low on the right. Wilfred Thesiger spent a week on Jebel Hafeet [Jabal Hafit] hunting Arabian Tahr [Hemitragus jayakari] with Arab and Bedouin guides in April 1948.
