Map of the United Arab Republic

Tourist map of Egypt during its brief period as the United Arab Republic, with the boundaries of Palestine, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia outlined. The map has both English and Arabic translations as well as a detailed key highlighting infrastructure such as the newly constructed Aswan High Dam along the Nile and geography of the region. The United Arab Republic was established on February 1, 1958, through a political union between Egypt and Syria, lasting until Syria's military coup in 1961. Egypt retained the name until 1971 when it became the United Republic of Egypt under President Gamal Abdel Nasser.
