Photographs of Arabia by Wilfred Thesiger

Over 5000 of them online. Take the plunge! One of the most significant pictures is this one of Shaykh Sultan Bin Zayid Aal Nahyan, taken in 1948 (pre-oil). He was not yet the ruler of the UAE.

  1. Interesting that you mention Thesiger – around the holidays I finished listening to ‘Arabian Sands’ and came across the website when looking for info to better understand some of the material in the book.

    Really fascinating!
