Item description from seller

First edition, first printing, of this uncommon guide to Saudi Arabia amply illustrated with portraits of Kings Ibn Saud and Faisal as well as photographs of contemporary industry, culture, urban life, and tourist destinations. This guide, produced locally to promote tourism, contains a wealth of information on subjects from the Saudi royals and the Hajj to the country's thriving transport infrastructure and rich cultural heritage. Sections on recipes, Arabic vocabulary and useful retail outlets complete this attempt to promote Saudi Arabia as a vibrant and welcoming tourist destination. This mission now lives on in the Saudi Tourism Authority's Vision 2030 plan to reach 55 million international visitors per year by the end of the decade and make tourism worth ten percent of GDP. This detailed illustrated guide is scarce, with only around a dozen copies recorded institutionally. Octavo. Half-tone illustrations throughout. Original illustrated card wrappers, title to front cover in black and green. Creasing, wear, and light soiling to wrappers, contents clean. A very good copy.…
