[City Map and Hajj Guide of Makkah Al Mukkaramah] / Makkah Al-Mukkaramah The Holy Capital / The Holy Mosque Area / Makkah Al-Mukkaramah and Holy Places / Mina and Al-Azizyah
Published in 1982–83, Farsi’s Map and Hajj Guide of Makka Al Mukarramah was described in the 1991 second edition of the Encyclopaedia of Islam as “the best map available”—a contemporary endorsement of its exceptionally detailed mapping of Mecca and its principal Hajj sites. Four bilingual English–Arabic maps move between scales: a 1:12,500 plan centred on the Masjid al-Haram; a remarkably close 1:4,500 plan of the Holy Mosque precinct; a 1:30,000 survey extending through Mina, Muzdalifah and Arafat; and an enlarged plan of Mina and Al-Azizyah. Coloured relief makes Makkah’s mountainous setting vivid, while extensive keys record the infrastructure of pilgrimage—Holy Area boundaries, existing and projected roads, pedestrian routes and tunnels, camps, car parks, mosques, hospitals, police and fire stations, schools and hotels. Issued for the Hajj with the compliments of the Ministry of Pilgrimage and Endowment, and produced by Saudi engineer and urban planner Zaki Mohamed Ali Farsi under Abdul-Gadir Koshak’s guidance, it captures Makkah during a decisive phase of modern expansion.
