International Travel Maps: Muscat & Oman ITM Publications 2º edição

The very name Muscat and Oman entices one! The peninsula at the access point to the Persian/Arabian Gulf sounds very exotic and it is! This double-sided map focuses on the city and region of Muscat on side one at a detailed scale, noting the Grand Mosque, the Mutrah Souk, and the Royal Opera House as well as showing hotels, shopping areas, and other sites of touristic interest. Muscat used to be a British protectorate, but is now part of Oman, albeit physically separated from it by a portion of the UAE. The country fills side 2. Oman is portrayed as a north-south alignment, as it is long and not particularly wide, and nicely fills the sheet, with an inset of Salalah, close to the Yemeni border. Connections to nearby Abu Dhabi and Dubai are also shown. Oman is a haven of peaceful co-existence, and tourists are welcome, so this map is designed to encourage visitors. Scale 1:25.000 and 1:1.300.000 for Oman
