Israel Flexi Map

£4.99

Handy size, laminated and waterproof map with a street plan of Jerusalem and plenty of tourist information. The main road map at 1:450,000 is presented in two parts, with the Negev Desert as a separate inset at 1:560,000. The map highlights places of interest, including archaeological sites and beaches, indicates main areas administered by the Palestinian Authorities, and has an index of localities next to it. No geographical coordinates are provided. All place names are given in Roman alphabet only.

On the reverse there are two indexed street plans of Jerusalem: a more general plan at 1:34,000 (roughly Yad Vashem to the Mount of Olives) showing neighbourhood names and main access roads and indicating places of interest, and a more detailed plan of the central part, including the Old City, at 1:11,500. For both plans the index includes lists of public buildings and places of interest, as well as selected hotels.

A special feature of the Insight Flexi series are panels with "Facts for Visitors" (travel documents, customs regulations, money, opening times, getting around, health, etc.) and "10 sights you shouldn't miss" (brief descriptions of the most important sights).
