Nice map of the Arabian peninsula and that part of Egypt between the Nile River and the Red Sea. Numerous caravan routes cross the map and interesting notations fill many of the lesser known regions. "Myrrh and Incense Country" is the label on the Horn of Africa. Original pastel color. Very faint toning on centerfold.
