Altitude colouring in broader bands has been replaced here by contours at 100m intervals, enhanced by relief shading. Boundaries of national parks and other protected areas are very prominently highlighted.Road network includes desert
tracks and gives driving distances on main routes. Railway lines are included and domestic airports are marked. Internal administrative boundaries are shown with names of the provinces; the map also shows oil pipelines.Symbols highlight numerous places of interest, including UNESCO World Heritage sites, ancient Egyptian and other archaeological remains, monasteries and religious sites, etc. Around El Alamein, often not included on maps which concentrate on covering the Nile Valley and Sinai, locations of war cemeteries and memorials are marked.
