Maps Of Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates

A lush park in Abu Dhabi, UAEAbu Dhabi is the capital city of the United Arab Emirates. It is also the 2nd largest city in the country after Dubai. It has a population of 945,268. A large majority of these people are foreign expatriates working in UAE, with only a minority being local Emiratis.

You can see from the maps that Abu Dhabi city lies on a T-shaped peninsula stretching out into the Persian Gulf (called the Arabian Gulf by Emiratis and other Arabs!).

There is a lot of wealth in the UAE so Abu Dhabi is a well-developed city with a lot of high end accomodation, beautiful parks in the middle of the city, luxury hotels, etc. It does however suffer from some of the problems of urban crowding, and poverty issues amongst the expat population from India and Pakistan.

Here are some maps of Abu Dhabu, UAE:

Map Of Cairo Egypt

Cairo, the capital of Egypt, is a massive metropolis and has the triple designation of being the largest city in Egypt, the largest city in Africa, and the largest city in the Arab World. It's population is around 12 million according to the 2008 census, but that number is not exactly reliable as nobody knows how many people are in Cairo without proper documentation or even an address. The metropolitan area has an estimated population of 17.8 million people.

The Nile River runs through Cairo, with the city center lying on the east bank of the river. Giza and the Giza pyramids lie on the west bank of the river and require you to cross a bridge.

I have been to Cairo twice, and it is an exciting city. But it can be a little overwhelming because of its sheer size, population density, and chaos. I personally enjoy that kind of overwhelming chaos, because it's something I can't experience at home.

The downsides to Cairo are pollution (if you wear sandles, you will come to your hotel with very dirty feet, and when you blow your nose black soot will come out), and con artists. Be careful of scams, anywhere in the city center but especially around Midan Tahrir. Be wary of people who approach you in the street -- they always want something from you.

But Cairo makes an amazing travel destination if you can't keep your wits about you.

I hope you found a Cairo Egypt map that was useful for you. Enjoy your trip to North Africa!
