More Information

This is an interesting 1883 map of northwestern Arabia or modern day Saudi Arabia by Charles M. Doughty. It covers from Mecca (Medina) north to Eilat including the Gulf of Aqaba and inland as far as Buraydah. Throughout, the map notes important towns, geology, ruins, camps, water stations and topography. The route followed by Charles Doughty is marked in red. An inset in the lower left quadrant depicts the north part of Arabia from the Gulf of Aqaba north past the Dead Sea to Jarash. Three sections showing the geological constitution of the Peninsula of Arabia are featured along the right margin.

The map depicts the journey of the English poet, writer, and traveller Charles M. Doughty. Doughty traveled in Arabia from November 1876 to August 1878 and in Paraea on the eastern side of the Jordan River Valley in May and June of 1875. During his travels, he lived amongst the Bedu, giving him one of the closest western looks at Arab life during the time. His book Travels in Arabia Deserta, from where this map comes from, is considered to be a one of the finest examples of travel writing of its time. It relates Doughty's treks and discoveries through the Arabian desert.

This map was issued as part of the 1926 edition of Charles M. Doughty's Travels in Arabia Deserta.

What our customers are saying

★★★★★

I purchased an historic map, 16x24 inch. It is beautifully printed on heavy stock. The lettering, colors, and details of the map are crisp and easy to read. I am highly satisfied and would certainly purchase from Historic Pictoric again!

Ordered the Pan American Midway print to fit a lovely thrift-store gilded frame. I love showing off Buffalo's rich history and this is a pretty entertaining photo from 1901. Prompt shipping. Sturdy packaging.

I received my print within days of ordering, and it arrived well packed in a mailing tube. The print is high quality and exactly as advertised. I will use Historic Pictoric again in the future!

Excellent product. Great fidelity in reproduction of the original. Fine/minute details were sharp, colors were vibrant, and thickness, texture and overall feel and quality of the paper were excellent. Very satisfied with my purchase.

I have purchased six maps from Historic Pictoric. I find the quality to be excellent. Their customers service is also excellent. Outstanding! I called to exchange a few for different sizes and I could not have asked for a better experience.

The original map I ordered lacked some of the detail that I had hoped for, but they responded with several more map possibilities to choose from. Excellent service- a far step beyond what anyone expects from online purchases.

I am a owner of 5 maps from Historic Pictoric. From Okinawa, 1945, Europe 1940-1945 battle maps. Now they’re helping me with the battle of Gettysburg. These maps are so much superior to the map on a page in a book. I have framed two of them.
