This map of the Arabian Peninsula extends from Jerusalem in the northwest to Adan (formerly Aden) in the south, and Masqat (formerly Muscat) in the east. Egypt and Nubia are identified to the west, and Persia (now Iran) to the east. Other interesting features noted are the city of Mecca and the island of Socotra. The map was drawn and engraved by Edward Weller.
