Book-mad kids are in for a treat as the popular Emirates Airline Festival of Literature kicks off with a calendar packed-full of exciting events – that will keep all literacy fans busy!
The 2017 Festival will run from March 3 – 11, and will take place in Dubai. Make sure you check out the schedule and have the chance to meet some of your favourite authors and illustrators.
The ever-growing Festival provides a platform for international and locally based authors to interact with UAE fans.
