Unusual set of educational booklets intended for visitors to Bahrain. Official publications seek to boost the image of Bahrain as an island tourist destination that is compact, has short travel times, and provides an authentic Arab experience. The set comprises four richly illustrated introductory guidebooks, presenting the country's main features with regard to geography, economy, education, infrastructure and cultural life.

Further, two issues of Almorshid monthly touristic magazine with useful information on Bahrain passport and visa policy, lists of hotels, banks, hospitals, and embassies, alongside a few maps of Bahrain and city plans of Manama.

Also, a report of the Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard Company prepared on the occasion of the inauguration of the Asry Drydock on 15 December 1977, illustrated with several impressive aerial photographs showing the dock under construction (a special supplement to OAPEC News Bulletin, vol. 3, no. 12).

Finally, a small pamphlet of main air routes from Bahrain, Kuwait, Aden, Asmara, Abadan, Tehran and Basra, prepared by A. H. Fuller in London, advertises convenient travel between Europe and the Gulf.
