Indexed, waterproof and tear-resistant road map of Oman, including the eastern part of the United Arab Emirates, with topographic and tourist information, published by Reise Know-How as part of their highly acclaimed World Mapping Project. The map is double-sided to present the area at best possible scale on a convenient size sheet.

Road network is easy to see on a clear base which shows the area’s topography by altitude colouring with contours, spot heights, and names of hill ranges and seasonal rivers. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces. Road network includes unsurfaced roads and 4WD tracks, indicating locations of border crossings. A wide range of symbols highlights various places of interest, including UNESCO heritage sites, archaeological remains, selected hotels and youth hostels, oasis, bird sanctuaries and turtle breeding grounds, surfing and diving sites, etc. The map also indicates locations of oil fields and oil wells.

All place names are shown only transliterated into Roman alphabet. The map has a latitude and longitude grid at intervals of 1° and an index of place names. Map legend includes English.

”World Mapping Project” is an extensive series of maps at varying scales, aiming to provide coverage of countries and regions worldwide using clear, well presented cartography with both topographic and tourist information. Some titles in this series have been published in Britain by Rough Guides with the same original cartography and are listed on our website only under that imprint. However, if required, the original Reise Know-How editions can be ordered on request - please contact us by e-mail.

Sample of cartography:

Some elements of the cartography e.g. minor roads and contours are printed relatively faintly compared with other information such as major roads. Although clearly legible on the map, the lower contrast of these details has made them less obvious on the reproduction of the cartography presented here.
