The settlement of Dhafir sits atop a high dune in a wide expanse of dunes. A number of Bani Yas villagers walk from their homes towards Wilfred Thesiger's men, tribesmen of the Bayt Imani lineage of Rashid Bedouin, who stand amongst their couched camels on the far right. Most of the small square huts (locally known as 'arish) have a rectangular enclosure
