The map provides a detailed description of the old city of Jerusalem, with an accurate description of the ancient city's wall which was built by Suleiman the Magnificent, of the Temple Mount structures, and of the Tower of David. The structures surrounding the ancient city and the locations of the ancient city's streets are illustrated freely. The perspective onto the city is the view from the Mount of Olives (namely from east to west). At the bottom of the map appears an illustration of the Jordan River, and on the map's left side an illustration of the Dead Sea area.
