The fair is going beyond the ADNEC premises, spreading its cultural reach across Abu Dhabi. And it’s not just about books at ADIBF – there’s a little something for everyone. Cultural, literary, artistic and musical events will take place at additional locations such as The Cultural Foundation, Manarat Al Saadiyat, Sorbonne University Abu Dhabi, NYUAD and the Logos Hope ship – known as the world’s largest floating book fair, currently anchored in Port Zayed.
And it’s not just about Abu Dhabi, though. This year’s fair sees significant participation from Saudi publishers and cultural institutions. It’s a testament to the historical relations between the UAE and the Kingdom and showcases the thriving cultural and intellectual movement happening now.
So, dear book lovers, it’s time to immerse yourself in the magic of the ADIBF. From 9am to 10pm, step into a world where words come alive, ideas flow freely and the love for literature unites us all.
