Last year, we celebrated the 6th edition of MOTN, and 6-exciting zones allowed us to experience the best of world-class live entertainment, culinary experiences, pop-up stores, endless activities, live entertainment and more. And this year too, we can expect tons of fun themes and zones. And when we talk about events in Abu Dhabi, Abu Dhabi International Book Fair is set to make a comeback for its 32nd edition in May. The exhibition will be held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC) between Monday, May 22 and Sunday, May 28.
And if you are planning to attend the exhibition with your kids, you must know that the event will also host a kid’s programme that includes writing, drawing and science experiments. Every year the fair focuses on a specific country and personality that lets the visitors experience and understand different literary cultures. This year the focus will be on Turkey and Arab sociologist, philosopher, and historian Ibn Khaldun.
