In the foreground, an oasis in the desert is depicted with date palms, low oriental houses, and a watering hole where camels are drinking. Hooded figures in Bedouin garb are seen loading goods onto the camels' backs. Two barking Pharaoh Hounds i. e. Kelb tal-Fenek frolic in the foreground, while in the background, part of the caravan can be seen continuing its journey into the misty desert and disappearing.
A detailed painting depicts an oasis in a desert town, with a large, leafy date palm tree in the foreground on the left, abundant with ripe dates. Below the date palm, an elderly man in a dark hooded robe stoops over, tending to three large wicker baskets overflowing with fruits and vegetables, placed beside a calm, clear pond. The pond's surface reflects the subtle ripples made by a lone camel in the center of the image, which is drinking from the pond. This camel is laden with bundles and has a robed rider perched on its back. Behind this camel, a second heavily loaded camel stands, and further back into the hazy, dusty distance of the desert, a caravan of several more camels with riders can be seen traversing sand dunes under a lightly clouded sky. To the right of the pond, two energetic tan-colored dogs with short fur are captured mid-stride, running enthusiastically, with their mouths open as if barking or panting. In the background, behind the first man and the pond, a cluster of traditional desert buildings with muted, earthy tones and a vibrant, intricately patterned blue and orange archway on the main building, characteristic of Moroccan architecture, indicates a bustling settlement in the heart of the arid landscape.
