54th Cairo Book Fair Opens its Pages on January 25th

The Cairo International Book Fair starts on January 25

The official opening of the 54th Cairo International Book Fair 2023 will take place on January 25.

Between January 26 and February 6, the fair is open daily from 10 am to 8 pm, except on Thursday and Friday, when it is open from 10 am to 9 pm.

The exhibition’s digital platform allows visitors to register for five Egyptian pounds per visit, so they won’t have to crowd the entry gates.

A guest of honor at the 54th session will be Jordan, and the late writer Salah Jahin will be honored this year by the fair as a personality, while Kamel Kilani, a pioneer of children’s literature both in Egypt and in the Arab world, will be honored during the Children’s Fair.
