Very good, neatly folded with light wear, and faint price imprint to the title panel. Undated c1992-4 (the first edition was 1982). The main map shows Abu Dhabi bounded by Ar Ras Ak Akdhar (NW), Port Zayed (NE), and the area south of Hadabat Al Zaafaran (S) on a 1/25K scale, with colour coding for land use, detailed Index (areas, streets, various types of building) and Business Directory. Among the infrastructural features is part of the course of a proposed bridge connecting Hazaa Bin Zayed Street to Sadiyat Island. This street was subsequently extended on a slightly different course as one of the links to the closer Al Reem Island, with the link to Sadiyat built further north from Port Zayed (Sheikh Khalifa Bridge, 2006-9). The verso zooms in on Central Abu Dhabi between the Corniche and Madenat Zayed on a 1/7300 scale with Index. And a 1/100K plan of Abu Dhabi Environs takes in its International Airport and Mafraq. Musaffah is shown in the process of development with a blank area labelled "New Musaffah". The areas that would soon become Khalifa City, Zayed City, Masdar City etc, are largely open unnamed spaces. It also shows the full course of the proposed and unrealised Saadiyat bridge project. and the layout of other islands.
