This 18” x 24” unframed lithographic art print features an original hand-illustrated map of the United Arab Emirates, created in pen and ink with watercolor by Xplorer Maps artist Chris Robitaille.
Established in 1971, the UAE is a federation of seven emirates — Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Sharjah, Ajman, Umm Al Quwain, Ras Al Khaimah, and Fujairah — each contributing its own identity to this rapidly evolving nation.
The map captures the country’s striking contrasts: futuristic skylines rising from desert sands, coastal cities along the Arabian Gulf, and rugged mountain terrain in the Hajar Mountains. Iconic landmarks such as the Burj Khalifa and the Louvre Abu Dhabi are woven into the composition, reflecting the UAE’s global stature in architecture, culture, and commerce.
Vast desert expanses of the Rub’ al Khali (Empty Quarter) anchor the southern landscape, while traditional souks, dhow boats, and historic forts nod to the region’s deep-rooted heritage.
Blending artistic storytelling with geographic precision, this piece honors the UAE’s dynamic balance of tradition and innovation — a nation shaped by both ancient trade routes and modern ambition.
