Photograph taken by Gertrude Bell in Saudi Arabia, February 1914

Description

Gertrude Bell's caravan at watering place. "We turned more W over rolling sand hills, rather pebbly, and near 11.30 reached the wide Khabra of Fasfas, a hard pebbly bottom with waterpools under low sandhills. We stopped at a good pool at 11.30, watered our camels and filled our waterskins in half an hour. A most desolate place but I rejoiced to see the water."
