Map of Saladin's Conquest into the Levant, including invasions routes, major conflicts, strongholds, and occupations.
The map shows a series of invasions by Saladin in 1174, 1175, 1184, and 1187. In 1174, he moved north from Cairo to Damascus. In 1175 he moved farther north from Damascus to Hama. In 1183, he moved even farther north from Hama to Aleppo. In 1187, he moved from Cairo to an area northeast of Jaffa, where the map shows there was a major conflict. The same year, he moved north to Beirut, and then south to Jerusalem.
