A brochure primarily for foreign investors to promote Bahrain's post-oil economy. Original colour illustrated wraps in landscape format 24x17cm. Produced and designed by ArabConsult and printed by Oriental Press for the Ministry of Information. 32, (1)pp illustrated with colour photos throughout, and 2 b/w maps. Very good. Scarce (OCLC 5946762). It reveals a dynamic, modern country rich with opportunity, containing information on geography, Government, international trade, commerce and industry, communications, health, education, housing, shopping and leisure. Major businesses mentioned include the Bahrain National Oil Company, Aluminium Bahrain and BALEXCO, the Arab Shipbuilding and Repair Yard (jointly owned by Bahrain and 6 other OAPEC countries), banking with the Bahrain Monetary Agency promoting new investment banks, and the Bahrain Fishing Company. Noting that oil reserves are unlikely to last much beyond 2000, it highlights measures to develop the Island as a regional hub and service centre with industrial zones at Mina Sulman and Sitra; cold storage and distribution; major harbour developments; the airport; projected causeway to Saudi Arabia; housing development at Isa Town (inaugurated in 1968, due to complete in 1981). The island boasts a cosmopolitan population, with a quarter of residents from other Middle Eastern countries, Asia and Europe. The cover photo highlights these developments, constrasting an old windtower with an aerial view of the modern city. Other photos show the diversity of Bahrain and its people. The maps show the islands (with settlements, oil installations, the causeway to Sitra etc), and Bahrain's position in the Gulf.…

Shipping terms
SHIPPING: Domestic and international shipping is tracked and insured with UPS. This has unfortunately meant an increase in domestic rates especially, and in most cases I am absorbing some of the increase. (I have moved away from Royal Mail owing to a series of problems).
DELIVERY DEADLINES: If you have a hard deadline for receipt that is before the processing time stated on Abe, eg, if you need it to arrive urgently before you travel or before a particular event, please contact me at the time of order to advise, so options can be discussed and steps taken to ensure it gets there in time.
RETURNS: Please return any items for refund within 30 days of the estimated delivery date, and contact me first with the reason for the return to establish whether postal costs will be included in the refund. If the item is not as described, I will cover the original and return post.
