The coolest book fair is in town
Print is far from dead (there, we’ve said it) – and the Jeddah Book Fair proves it once again. Whether you’re an artist, a collector or simply someone who loves the tactile charm of print media, this fair has something for everyone.
Taking place at Jeddah Superdome from Thursday December 11 to Saturday December 20, the event brings together a wide range of publishers from around the globe, authors and fellow book lovers to discover the latest releases, new titles and more. And you can snag your free tickets to the book fair right now.
Jeddah Book Fair 2025 isn’t just about flipping through pretty pages. This year’s edition is stacked with cultural events, including poetry readings and lively discussions with renowned poets, writers and thinkers.
Of course, the heart of the book fair remains its exhibitors. Visitors can expect to meet local and international artists, zinemakers, small presses, and distributors showing off their latest works.
Last year, the fair featured more than 450 pavilions and showcased works from 1,000 publishing houses across 22 countries, and displayed nearly 400,000 titles, selling more than 450,000 books in various genres. So naturally, we’re expecting even more this year.
Moreover, kids aged two to 12 can dive into their own dedicated zone filled with fun, interactive activities, where they can roll up their sleeves and get creative.
For those captivated by graphic storytelling, the fair has dedicated a significant portion of its space to manga, reflecting its undeniable influence in Saudi Arabia. The Manga corner invites visitors to explore distinctive graphic stories and comics, adding another dimension to this cultural experience.
With something for every age and interest, Jeddah Book Fair makes for a perfect family outing.
A word of advice for when you’re there? Do set aside a good chunk of time to wander around the fair, as this isn’t one you should rush through. So, get your free ticket on WeBook, sling on your reusable tote bag, and bring your enthusiasm.
