The huge poster wall is filled with "welcome" in various languages. At the main entrance of the 30th Rabat International Book Fair, a group of Moroccan children are preparing to enter and visit under the guidance of their teachers, with innocent smiles full of curiosity and anticipation.
Rabat, the capital of Morocco, is known as the "City of Reading" and has been awarded the title of "World Book Capital" by UNESCO for 2026. The Rabat International Book Fair has always been regarded as a "flagship" cultural project by various sectors in Morocco. Holding a book fair in a prime location in the center of the capital city also reflects the Moroccan government's emphasis on developing its own cultural industry.
Morocco is located in the northwest of Africa and serves as a "crossroads" connecting the Mediterranean and Atlantic, Europe and Africa. Multiple civilizations converge and merge in this country known as the 'Garden of North Africa'. Whether it's the Rabat International Book Fair or the Gnava World Music Festival, cultural festivals and events continue throughout the year. The open and inclusive cultural environment has also become a "national calling card" of Morocco.
In recent years, Morocco's good economic and social development trend has also contributed to the increasing influence of book fairs. The book fair showcases and sells a wide variety of publications, mainly in Arabic and French, and books with Moroccan elements are very popular.
