Goodness, folks.  Are soil maps of Egypt as rare as they seem to be?  I can tell from a 1995 UN report that a 1:100,000 set was made in 1977-1982, but I can find no holdings in OCLC, just an approx. 1:3mil early 1970's map at 3 US libraries.

Otherwise, all I've found is the FAO Digital Soil Map of the World and the FAO Soil and Terrain Database for Northeastern Africa.  I feel like I must be missing something.  Any ideas?

The patron is particularly intersted in the Nile delta.
