Sudan Events

Cairo International Book Fair (CIB) 55th edition witnessed a large public turnout, with up to 207,414 visitors since the event began on Thursday, lasting until February 6.

Families flocked from across the country as soon as the doors opened even despite low temperatures.

Culture Minister Neveen al-Kilany praised the outstanding turnout, embodying how much the Egyptian populace values knowledge and the positive effects that culture and arts have on the consciences of their children – something that can be built upon for an advanced society.

This is a promising start to the current session of the fair, the ministry added, which will likely be exceptional in terms of interest and public momentum owing to the volume of diverse cultural and artistic services provided by the exhibition.

She stressed the ministry’s keenness to culturally enlighten as many people as it can.
