The Golden Jubilee of the Cairo International Book Fair is just around the corner, and we’re looking forward to how special this year’s edition is going to be. Next week, on 23 January, the Cairo International Book Fair will commence in the Egypt International Exhibition Center in New Cairo. But this time, the Book Fair is not just about books, the organisers have made it their goal to add many different activities and services this year.

This year, the Cairo International Book Fair will be home to a huge closed theatre where a number of musical concerts will be held, bringing accomplished artists and rising stars, in addition to ballet performances and other art shows and plays.

For the little kids, there will be over 240 activities to give them a dose of cultural in an equally entertaining setting. The activities include art classes, handcraft skills, as well as clown shows, in addition to a special kid’s area with many toys and games for them. As for the food, the organisers have ensured that there would be plenty of restaurants in the area, covering all ranges of price and cuisine, to suit the diversity of the visitors and their preferences.

The 50th edition of the Cairo International Book Fair is looking to be quite a special one, and we can’t wait to visit it and see how it pans out.
