Abu Dhabi Book Fair

Yesterday I visited Abu Dhabi Book Fair. This is the first time I visited the Abu Dhabi event & I must say that I was really impressed by the variety of books available. The fair in Sharjah is more focussed on arabic content but this one had a good foreign representation. And the most impressive section was the Antiquarian Book Fair, where they displayed old manuscripts from the 15th century onwards, including few copies of Holy Quran. 

Although I must admit that I was a bit disappointed by the lack of sufficient elevators in the parking building. Not only they were too small, but also lacked ventilation. And you had to wait for at least two or three trips before your turn to enter the elevator came. Other than that, it was a well organized event.

If you are a book lover & you live in UAE, it is a must visit event. And you better hurry up too, the show will end on 22nd of March :-)

One more thing before I sign off, this is the 100th post on this blog, have finally achieved the 100 post landmark after 32 months of blogging :-D
