Celebrate books, hear from top authors and uncover the secrets of writing at this annual showcase

The Emirates Airline Festival of Literature is the region’s largest celebration of the written and spoken word. Along with homegrown talent taking centre stage, the fair offers visitors of all ages the chance to interact with their favourite authors, attend literary debates and participate in workshops.

Celebrate literature, arts and creativity with world leaders, thinkers and icons with this year's optimistic theme 'Here Comes the Sun'. The 2022 edition will mark the beginning of a new era with a brand new location at Al Habtoor City along with special activations at Expo 2020 Dubai. Previous editions have seen appearances by the likes of Sir Chris Bonington, an explorer who summited Mount Everest and Hazza Al Mansoori, the first Emirati to travel to space.
