Excellent annotated satellite image overlay maps, full route descriptions including places of interest along the way and tips on camping spots and walks. Also includes general basic camping tips and flora and fauna guides. Hardcover with sturdy pages – well made but a little heavy for the travel bag. Fine for the 4WD glovebox though. Unfortunately, some sponsors’ advertising included. Overall highly recommended.

This book is so well laid out with fantastic maps that are broken down into five different regions.
I can’t reccommend this book enough!
It is full of photos that show you each region so you can make up your mind where you want to go.
Definately purchase the OMAN & United Arab Emirates map by International Travel Maps and you will be set!
Safe travels…

This book made me and my friends enjoy outdoor more and visit new places in our country we never knew before.
It is comprehensive book for those who like nature and history.
