SATELLITE IMAGEMAP OF THE NEAR EAST at 250 metres
Our Satellite Imagemap of the Near East covers Iraq, Kuwait, Jordan, Israel, Gaza and the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon, Turkey, Cyprus, Georgia and most of Egypt at a pixel size of 250 metres. The region is extracted from our Satellite Imagemap of Europe, jointly developed with the German Aerospace Centre (DLR). This imagemap is enhanced by hill-shading based on digital terrain data, with natural colour optimised for this area. It is GIS-ready, available with optional land/sea mask, international boundaries and hill-shading layers.
