Cairo Art Book Fair Will Showcase the Art of Publication in Heliopolis

The third edition of the Cairo Art Book Fair (CABF) will take place at Granada Palace in Heliopolis from December 12th to the 14th, showcasing a dynamic mix of artists, publishers, design studios and cultural institutions. In addition to the exhibition, the fair will offer a vibrant public program, including talks, book launches, panels, workshops and a temporary library.

Created by Nour El Safoury and Marwa Benhalim, CABF was established in September 2022. The duo made their debut at the Athens Art Book Fair, where they showcased a curated selection of homegrown and regional publications.

As a self-funded initiative, the journey has had its challenges, with the team navigating ups and downs throughout its two previous editions. By choosing historically significant locations, they’ve strengthened the fair's ties to Cairo’s rich artistic and literary heritage.

The first day of the event will run from 6 PM to 10 PM on December 12th, with the following two days running from 1 PM to 10 PM. Tickets are now available through their Instagram page.
