Photo here. Afif is one of the largest wells in Arabia. The ‘Ataiba was one of the most powerful Bedouin tribes in Arabia.
Same photographer as the image below, different setting: an oasis, a wealthier man, a better-groomed horse, an Arab bit.
This morning Hylke shared with me this photo of a grey Bedouin mare. British army officer and explorer Gerald De Gaury took it in Saudi Arabia. The photo is on the website of the British Royal Geographical Society. It is numbered S0024244 and titled the “the last (Horses) of the Managia strain”. And another photo, by the same author, in the same setting. I think this one is a stallion. De Gaury’s books are on my purchase list.
