Photograph shows the steep dunes and open desert with rocky hills of Wadi Rum in Jordan. T.E. Lawrence with the troops of Emir Faisal whom he was embedded with, spent several months in the Wadi Rum desert in the operational camp where they aimed to conquer Aqaba. This was a strategic coastal city still under Ottoman control in early 1917.
