In Africa the map extends to the southernmost tips of Algeria and Libya. In the east part of the Caspian Sea, Georgia and Armenia, much of Iraq, and the Red Sea with Jeddah, Mecca and Port Sudan are included.Country names are in English; city names are in the language of their country (Warszawa, Wien, Tarabulus, Dimashq, etc) with the English equivalent in brackets. Selected main roads, railway connections and airports are marked. The map also shows oil fields and pipelines. On land masses light relief shading shows the topography; in the African countries plenty of names of mountain chains, deserts, etc are marked. Elevations on land and soundings in the Mediterranean, Black Sea and Red Sea are given in metres. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at 5ยบ intervals.PLEASE NOTE: this title is also available on paper without the encapsulation.LAMINATED and ENCAPSULATED WALL MAPS:- LAMINATED wall maps have a thin layer of plastic usually applied to the printed side only. They can be written on with suitable marker pens without any damage to the map but, unless they have been laminated on both sides, they are not damp-proof.- ENCAPSUPATED wall maps are sealed between two sheets of plastic. They are more rigid and heavier than laminated maps of the same size. They are damp-proof and do not crinkle in humid conditions. Encapsulation gives the map a shiny surface, similar to being displayed behind glass.- PLEASE NOTE: many publishers and retailers often use these two terms interchangeably. Our map titles and descriptions follow the definitions provided above.
