Istanbul Arabic Book Fair

The Istanbul International Arabic Book Fair is the largest cultural event that combines authenticity and modernity, and the largest international Arabic book fair outside the Arab world. It is a non-profit fair that seeks to revive the Arabic language in Turkey and strengthen the bonds between Arab and Turkish brothers. It is held annually on a regular basis in the city of Istanbul, Turkey.

The Istanbul International Arabic Book Fair is a fair accredited by the Arab Publishers Union and is considered the largest Arab cultural event in Turkey. It attracts the Arab community residing in Turkish territories, which has significantly increased recently, in addition to many Turks interested in the Arabic language and its sciences. The organizing body sends invitations to all Arab and Turkish universities and schools that have a close connection to the sciences and knowledge of the Arabic language. The fair is also considered an important event sought by Arab communities in Europe, given that Istanbul is a nexus between East and West.
