UAE 7 Emirates

A Huge (20 km) desert map of the United Arab Emirates built from real satellite elevation data. TERRAIN: The Gulf coastline with the Abu Dhabi lagoons and islands, the Hajar Mountains and Musandam peninsula, the Gulf of Oman coast, and the Liwa dunes of the Empty Quarter. ARTIFICIAL ISLANDS: Palm Jumeirah, Palm Jebel Ali and The World are pre-built into the terrain, traced from satellite data – no terraforming needed, so no reputation penalty with your towns. TOWNS: 21 real towns sized by real population, spaced out so they have room to grow – Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, Fujairah, Al Ain, Jebel Ali, Khor Fakkan, Dibba, Al Dhaid, Hatta, Ruwais, Ghayathi, Mirfa, Madinat Zayed, Liwa, Sweihan, Al Wathba and Khasab. INDUSTRY: An oil economy based on the real one – onshore oil wells in the western desert fields, offshore platforms at Zakum, Umm Shaif, Satah and Fateh, refineries at Ruwais, Jebel Ali and Fujairah, a chemical plant at Ruwais, a steel mill near Abu Dhabi, and cement and quarries in the Hajar foothills. NOTE: Huge is an experimental map size. You may need to enable experimental map features in your settings to load it.
