Nasher, the first publishing house affiliated with the Literature, Publishing and Translation Commission, is striving to give a boost to the cultural movement by launching and publishing its works during 2024, in a step that reflects the Kingdom's ambitious cultural vision and paves the way for a brighter future for literary publishing in Saudi Arabia, SPA reported.
Nasher participated in the Riyadh International Book Fair with several valuable publications, most notably three books about adventure tourism in the Kingdom, including the book "Al Dalila", which sheds light on six adventure routes in the Kingdom.
The book was published in cooperation with the Ministry of Culture and the Saudi Sports for All Federation, and targets travel lovers and adventure enthusiasts, as it highlights the heritage and natural sites in the Kingdom's regions.
It displays a barcode that gives access to data about each site, including hotels and services. It was designed in cooperation with Saudi Tourism Authority to attract more tourists.
The book gives a wealth of references to adventurers and camping enthusiasts. To ensure wider reach, Nasher is working on translating this book into several languages and displaying it in 25 countries.
Among Nasher publications is also the “Blue Kingdom”, a comprehensive guide for diving enthusiasts in the Red Sea, be they beginners or professionals, with a barcode detailing diving, and island locations.
In the book “Shdad”, photographer Ibrahim Sarhan took three years to document traditional camel races and Bedouin culture in Tabuk region.
