Title: A CL601 crew landed at OMDB and was given taxi instructions which included a Taxiway KA hold point; but since the main airport diagram did not contain the point ATC instructed them to hold after passing KA. Taxiway hold positions were described on a different chart; not referenced on the main airport diagram.
