Wegenkaart - landkaart Libya - Tunisia / Libië - Tunesië | ITMB (9781553413028)

The recent 'jasmine revolution' brings real-life reality very close to our consciousness. It is fitting that a new map of Tunisia is coming out just at this momentous time of the country's long history, as the country has long been seen as a small but stable fortress in the sea of shifting sand known as North Africa. Having visited the country, the publishers wish its inhabitants well as they undertake the next leg of their political development, and hope that the 'revolution' won't be hijacked by extremist elements. This map benefits from the research the publishers were able to carry out during their recent visit to Tunisia. They were able to confirm a lot of road information, and improve the information on this map. The map also now includes several text blocks called capsule comments, describing in words certain brief facts about points of interest in the country. 

The north coast of Africa is also the southern edge of Roman Africa, and the best-preserved ruins are in Libya, which was also the site of the famous Battle of Tobruk in WWII. This travel map shows roads into the desert as well as the coastal region. Printed double-sided on paper.
