         AL ISKANDARIYH
 
          Darius, you are lucky to be visiting a port city
          in Egypt.  The Defense Mapping Agency maintains three large
          scale nautical charts of Al Iskandariya, as follows:
 
 
          56101 1:50,000
          56102 1:20,000
          56103 1:10,000
 
          The older editions seem to have more topographic details
          than newer, expurgated versions.
 
          I have an excellent 1939 edition of British Admiralty
          nautical chart 243 @ 1:25,000 that gives outstanding city
          details; recommend looking at this item.
 
          Nautical charts, of course, are limited to seaside
          information and one will not likely find inland coverage.
