View of a grove of ... Images of Sheikh ZayedView of a grove of date palms in Liwa oasis. In the foreground footprints and camel tracks cross a wide flat on a sloping sand dune. On the left a large palm grove cultivated by Bani Yas villagers grows in a depression below the dune. In the distance beyond, sand dunes stretch out in all directions. A few sand fences have been constructed along some of the dunes. Due to the nature of these images, prints will reproduce any signs of age, wear or damage
