Bahrain Unused Minister Of Transportation Oversized Envelope

The captioned envelope, measuring 10" x 7", was obtained by a co-worker during a trip in the early 1990's (I think 1993) to Bahrain. I don't have a clue what the arabic writing in the upper right corner says, but I would presume it says something about official mail. The envelope has its original gum. Does it have any value and if so, can anyone give me an estimate? Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

Also, can anyone translate the arabic writing for me? Thanks so much!

Nice item.

Thanks, Redwood Randy! Any idea as to exactly what it is and what it says?

The Arabic is the same as the English information at the left. Since the Latin alphabet is written and read left to right and the Arabic alphabet is written and read right to left, this is a convenient way of printing the same information in both languages. It might be better is posters didn't make "Fun Guesses" rather than adding real information.

Also, the Arms of Bahrain are shown in the middle, not the flag. The flag is in a completely different orientation with out the accompanying design around the outside.

(ADDED NOTE: In case anyone is wondering why my last few sentences might not make sense, it's because a previous poster wrote some incorrect information and decided to erase his post.)

Thanks Glenn! (Or if I could write the equivalent in Arabic: !nnelG sknahT)

Since there's no postage (I would presume no postage would be required if mailed in Bahrain to another party in Bahrain?), I guess it doesn't have any real value other than an interesting item in my collection?

I would not assume that no postage is required to mail the envelope. The envelope just includes the same return address printed in both English and Arabic. While English is used worldwide, the issuing country would be remiss not to include a return address in its official language and for domestic and regional use to other Arabic-speaking countries.
The placement of the text on the top right, where postage stamps typically sit, doesn't preclude applying postage. I don't think the rule of applying postage at the top right of the address-bearing side is widely adopted in Middle Eastern countries. You'll often see stamps put elsewhere on the envelope including the back.
The slanted text "<p dir="rtl" lang="ar" style="color:#e0e0e0;font-size:20px;">#1601;#1610; #1582;#1583;#1605;#1577; #1575;#1604;#1576;#1585;#1610;#1583;</p>" literally translates into: for depositing in a postal service; indicating the envelope is for postal use as opposed to other uses, I suppose.
