This year's edition of the Cairo International Book Fair is going to open, in the customary low-key way, tomorrow Thursday, January 28 (Friday, January 29 to the public) at the Trade Fair Grounds in Nasr City. It will run until Sunday, February 7. Free entry.
Beside the laudable initiatives of few countries who have posted the program of the events taking place in their pavillons (see here the Italian; scroll down to get to the text in English and Arabic), there isn't, as far as I know, any general program of the event posted on the net. But then, all who have attended in the past complained that it was very crowded, so, perhaps, that's a clever strategy to discourage additional potential visitors. It will certainly work with me; I'd rather search and browse through books at Diwan or Al Kotob Khan, in tranquility, and with a nice cappuccino in front of me.
