In the camel khan
Description
Two camels with their heads lowered close to the paved ground stand in a yard, fitted with saddles and harness. A man in a light shirt, dark trousers and a white head cloth stands beside them, while a second man in a head cloth bends over the nearest camel, handling a large sack. Sacks are piled against a wall behind, and the photograph is printed on a page with its caption below.
