Saudi Arabia Kuwait itmb Travel Map

This is a double-sided map covering the Saudi Peninsula, with the major oil-producing country of Saudi Arabia on one side and the much smaller but also significant oil-producing country of KUwait just to its north. By the shape of the two countries, portions of Qatar, Dubai, Muscat, Iraq, and Yemen necessarily are included, with the same attention to detail. Inset maps of Ruyadh and Kuweit City are included. The peninsulq is not only immensely wealthy, it is the heart of what we call the 'Middle East', vying for religious, political, and economic dominance of the region with Iran and Turkey.

Saudi Arabia presented at 1:1,750,000, indexed, divided between both sides of the map and accompanied by a street plan of central Riyadh, plus as a separate panel Kuwait at 1:390,000 with a street plan of Kuwait City. 

On one side is the northern part of Saudi Arabia, extending south to Riyadh and along the Gulf coast to the northernmost tip of the United Arab Emirates. Topography is shown by latitude colouring (bands and peak heights in feet), with plenty of names of mountain ranges, deserts, etc. The map shows the country’s road network including selected desert tracks, with driving distances marked on main roads. Railway lines are includes and domestic airports are marked. Also shown are locations of selected oil wells and pipelines, boundaries and names of the provinces, and places of interest.
