Data Location

Comments

It is difficult to find out if such a map exists and what body is responsible for it due to the federal system of the UAE. Individual emirates, or states, could be responsible for maintaining and publishing their own maps. For example, the emirate of Abu Dhabi has a website for geospatial information ( https://sdi.abudhabi.ae/ ) , but naturally covers only its own territory and not the territory of other emirates.

Reviewer comments

My review and search found similar results, however, it is worth noting that the UAE has a Data Portal, with a lot of data, I couldn't find anything on maps, yet. Link to the data portal: https://bayanat.ae/
