The Cairo International Book Fair at Cairo Fair Grounds is one of the leading cultural activities in the Middle East, attracting over 3000 exhibitors and three million international visitors. Go along to a discussion with a world-famous guest speaker.
The event was initially set up in 1969 with the purpose of narrowing the gap between Arabic and foreign language books - the latter outnumbering the former. Within the first few editions, it became a cultural landmark, attracting intellectuals, publishers, writers and book lovers from around the world.
In addition to literature, science and intellectual book collections, there are also arts events, seminars and music.
