The History of the International Book Fair
• The Egyptian Book Association is the main organizer of the fair. The Association is the main culture sponsor for books in Egypt and they suggested the idea of the fair in 1969. The number of participant publishers and the number of guests visiting the fair every year makes it second only to the Frankfurt Book Fair.
• The first book fair in 1969 synchronized with the celebration of the 1,000th birthday of Cairo. The fair realized unprecedented success. That is why the concept of making a new fair every year became an urgent necessity. The fair became a major market for publishers. In the beginning, it was only a fair of Arabic books, but later, publishers from all over the world started participating in the Book Fair.
• In the last few years, the International Book Fair has included much more than books, such as videos, cassettes, CDs, electronic dictionaries and calculators. This year, there were some very interesting teaching toys for children as well. Science and cultural lectures, intellectual debates and poetry also took place at the fair, where many of the writers and readers met to exchange ideas and thoughts. The International Book Fair has become a major annual event in Egypt.
• Most of the booths had the normal stuff like computer books of all kinds in English and Arabic, history, medicine, science, etc.The most exciting was a section that had many of the plays of Shakespeare for kids. Each book had the plot of a single play like Hamlet, Othello, or Romeo and Juliet. The books are written in Arabic and in English .This place is a treasure for any book lover of any kind.
• The fair is a perfect place for a family outing or picnic or even for a group of friends or an intellectual date. The fair opens from 10 in the morning till 7 in the afternoon from the 19th of January till the 3rd of February. On the 20th, 24th, and the 28th of February it will close at 3 in the afternoon.
