Reflecting the show’s status as a major cultural moment, there is an increasing number of people requesting available booths of different sizes to secure participation in the next edition.

In addition to the continued success of the show, the recent third consecutive year of waiving rental and participation fees has also made the prospect of exhibiting attractive. The program supports local, Arabic and international publishers and is in line with ALC’s strategy to grow the publishing industry and promote Arabic as a language of culture, knowledge and creativity.

Following the successful Book Fair 2023 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Center from 22-28 May, anticipation is high for the next event.
