Egypt-region-map-cities.gif‎ (315 × 377 pixel, file size: 15 KB, MIME type: image/gif)

This map is a more detailed variation of Image:Eg-map.png.

[edit] Summary

Regional map of Egypt, with main cities and oasis areas labeled, plus scale of miles/km (approximate). The file is in GIF format, 10x times faster than PNG format, for rapid display and to allow precise edits when adding other towns in the future.

Re-labeled to include 6 oasis areas, with "Giza" and sea-side towns, plus dotted line for Tropic of Cancer.

This file was created by hand-editing as a simple map of Egypt, adding towns as referenced in articles, so the locations of towns are approximate.

Source: hand-edited file using MS Paint.
