The poster was issued when Egypt was part of the United Arab Republic (U.A.R.), the political union between Egypt and Syria which lasted from 1958 until 1961. "Son et lumière", in English "sound-and-light show" was a nighttime entertainment conceived by Paul Robert-Houdin, curator of the Château de Chambord on the Cosson River, France, where the first one was presented in 1952. Multicoloured lights of changing intensity were directed against the facade of a historic building or ruin. The changes of light are synchronized with a sound track (relayed through loudspeakers) carrying music and the dramatized story of the site. Usually, no live participants appear. The first African production took place at Cairo, Egypt, at the Pyramids of Giza, in 1961. Title and date from item. Iscribed: "Issued by the Tourist Administration Office - Cairo".

L'effort de colons français et des fellahs, un outillage agricole moderne permettront de subvenir aux besoins d'une population toujours plus nombreuse (actuellement 7 millions d'habitants). Le sous-sol offre des ressources considérables et son exploitation s'intensifie chaque jour (phosphates: 3 millions de tonnes pour 1946). À la base de l'industrialisation du Maroc, il y a le problème de l'énergie. La construction de nouveaux barrages doit d'ici 5 ans porter la production électrique à 650 millions de kwh. Le Maroc entre dans une voie nouvelle, mais les transformations respecteront les costumes et les traditions qui sont chères au pays marocain".
