This detailed French-language tourist map of Lebanon by Paul Khalil Aouad was printed in Beirut. It locates Tripoli, Beirut, Sidon, Tyre, Baalbek, and several smaller towns and cities, and extends into Syria to show Damascus. The legend identifies various roads, railways, airfields, boundaries, ruins (Phoenician, Roman, Arabic, and from the Crusades), seaside resorts, Lebanese monuments, waterfalls, elevation, and much more.
