Map
Very good. Light wear along original folds. Size 36.5 x 25.5 Inches. A large-format c. 1960 map of Egypt under the ephemeral United Arab Republic by Abdel-Aal Mohammed Rashdan of the Cairo Drafting Office. It reflects the modernization drives of the Egyptian government led by Gamel Abdel Nasser. A Closer Look Covering the densely-populated Nile Delta, this map provides information on the country's geography and infrastructure. Provinces ( mudiriyah ÙØ ÙØ±ÙØ ) are color shaded for easy distinction. Paved roads, 'agricultural roads' (Ø Ø±Ù Ø Ø±Ø§Ø ÙØ ), railways (main and secondary), towns and cities of various sizes and administrative functions, and airports are noted as indicated in the legend below the title. Important cultural and religious sites, including ancient Egyptian ruins, are represented pictorially and labeled, as are more recent economic projects, such as the Aswan Dam and an oil refinery near Suez. Circled numbers throughout correspond to an index of towns at the bottom-left. At left toward the top is a comprehensive table of distances between various settlements. At the bottom right is an inset map, a continuation of the main map along the course of the Nile. At the bottom left is an inset map of Egypt, officially the Egyptian region of the UAR, indicating roads from the Nile Delta to other parts of the country. The United Arab Republic The United Arab Republic (UAR), founded in 1958, was a political union between Egypt and Syria. It was a manifestation of pan-Arabism, a nascent ideology in the wake of the creation of the State of Israel and during the era of Arab countries declaring independence from the Western empires (Britain and France). The main catalyst for the UAR's creation was the 1956 Suez Crisis, in which Israel seized control of the Suez Canal with British and French support after Egyptian President Gamal Abdel Nasser nationalized it. The broader context of the Cold War also contributed to the creation of the United Arab Republic, as Communist influence in Syria was growing, and Syrian elites reluctantly agreed that a union with Egypt was the best means to prevent a Communist coup. Officially established on February 1, 1958, the new republic was quickly beset by disagreements between Nasser and Syrian elites, especially the Ba'ath Party, which he attempted to sideline. Although Nasser was extremely popular with the public throughout the Arab world, Syrians soon felt that outsiders were taking over their country. Thus, the union only lasted until 1961, when a coup d'à tat in Syria led to its secession. Egypt continued to be known as the UAR until 1971. More specifically related to the content of this map, whether as the Republic of Egypt or the United Arab Republic, Nasser aimed to invest heavily in Egypt's infrastructure. With lofty ambitions, his government undertook several large-scale projects, including new railways, highways, ports, and the Aswan High Dam, built in the 1960s with Soviet assistance. Some projects, such as shifting more of the population away from the Nile Delta to new interior settlements, did not pan out, but Nasser's years in power did leave the country with the modern infrastructure that it relies on today. Publication History and Census This map was prepared by cartographer Abdel-Aal Mohammed Rashdan (Ø Ø Ø Ø§ÙØ Ø§Ù ÙØÙØ Ø±Ø Ø Ø§Ù) of the Cairo Drafting Office (ÙÙØªØ اÙÙØ§ÙØ±Ø ÙÙØ®Ø±Ø§Ø¦Ø ). It is undated, but the use of 'Egyptian region' of the UAR and other details (such as the absence of the Aswan High Dam) suggests a date between 1958 and 1961. The map is quite scarce, noted in the OCLC among the holdings of the American University in Cairo and Pennsylvania State University. It appears to be based on an earlier 1957 English-language edition of the map, which was then updated and reissued regularly until 1976. The present map, however, is an example of the only Arabic edition. References: OCLC 933755848.

Map
Good. Toning along fold lines and edge. Verso repairs to fold separations. Small areas of loss at fold intersections. Some handwritten annotations. Size 30.25 x 21.5 Inches. A scarce and striking 1963 map of Qatar, prepared by Abdel Badie Saqr, a leading figure in the country's educational bureaucracy. It presents the territory late in the period when it was a largely autonomous British Protectorate and in the early years of an oil and gas boom that has defined its economy ever since. A Closer Look Qatar is displayed with roads, administrative boundaries, cities, towns, police stations, oases, and other features labeled. The red line running horizontally across the country is an oil pipeline from the Dukhan Field to the port of Mesaieed (ÙØ ÙØ ÙØ ). The capital, Doha (Ø§ÙØ ÙØØ ), appears to its north, though today Doha has grown to the point that Mesaieed, al-Wakrah (اÙÙÙØ±Ø ), and al-Wukair (اÙÙÙÙØ±) are practically suburbs of the metropolis. An inset map at top-left presents Qatar in the context of the wider Persian Gulf. The Dukhan Field The Dukhan (Ø Ø®Ø§Ù) Field was the first oilfield discovered in Qatar, in the late 1940s, and remains its most productive. However, its remote location and the difficulty in moving heavy equipment there, along with the disruptions caused by World War II (1939 - 1945), limited its exploitation until 1949. The field was initially operated by Petroleum Development (Qatar) Ltd., a subsidiary of the Iraq Petroleum Company, until the nationalization of the oil sector in 1973. In subsequent years, natural gas reserves were also discovered, making it an essential and lucrative part of Qatar's national economy. Publication History and Census This map was prepared by Abdel Badie Saqr (Ø Ø Ø Ø§ÙØ Ø ÙØ ØµÙØ±) in 1963 (AH 1383). Saqr was an education official and a founder of the Muslim Brotherhood in Qatar. A stamp at bottom suggests that it was sponsored by the Qatari government, plausible given Saqr's position, though this is not explicitly stated. It is marked as the tenth edition of the map (Ø§ÙØ Ø Ø Ø Ø§ÙØ Ø§Ø Ø±Ø ), though the map is now very rare in any edition. The only other known example is held by the Beirut Arab University.
