Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. "There is a City in Dammam - Saudis call it the Sunrise City" (opening statement). A finely produced brochure celebrating delivery of a very early high profile project by future Lebanese Prime Minister Rafic Hariri's construction firm Saudi-Oger. Full brown calf gilt-titled with Saudi emblem to the front 25x25cm. Printed on stiff card by Coriandre, Paris. (74)pp comprising mainly colour photos (by Jean Loup Princelle), artist's impressions, site plans, and a full-page location map, with texts in English and Arabic. Covers very good, scuffed at the extremities with light scratches to the panels. Interiors fine. The high production values and focus suggest this was prepared for a limited circle of VIP clients and associates, and is accordingly very rare with no record on Worldcat and Library Hub. In January 1978, Hariri took over the French firm Oger to form Saudi-Oger, and became a dual Saudi-Lebanese citizen. Initially very successful, Saudi-Oger became the preferred firm of Saudi royalty, making Hariri a multi-billionaire. The Saudi Government contracted Saudi-Oger to build a Government Complex in Dammam to complement those in Riyadh and Taif. Saudi-Oger sub-contracted to Rashid Engineering, founded locally in 1973 by Dr Nasser Al Rashid who was Dean of the College of Engineering Sciences and Applied Engineering at KFUPM in Dhahran, and Consultant to King Fahd. Work began on 1 August 1979. The project was delivered fully equipped and furnished in 720 days. The Complex included the Royal Cabinet (grand foyer and salon, state dining room, royal suites, conference room, Mosque, offices); the palaces of the King and Crown Prince, the VIP Guest Residence (with 134 rooms, suites, and villas, banquet hall, coffee shop, etc); staff housing and support facilities. The photos show numerous interior and exterior views of the completed site, Royal Cabinet, VIP Guest Residence, technical and other buildings.
