Madinah | July 29, 2025

In its fourth edition, Madinah International Book Fair 2025 continues to offer a comprehensive cultural experience targeting the whole family, with special focus on children and young people, through a dedicated area featuring six main corners offering educational, interactive, and instructive content within a stimulating and safe environment.

Under the supervision of the Literature, Publishing and Translation Commission, these corners were designed in an innovative way that blends entertainment and learning, including educational workshops and mental games aimed at developing children's critical and creative thinking, as well as instilling human values indirectly, bringing books closer to children's worlds through interaction and participation.

The "Al-Yoqi Theater" is one of the most prominent stops in the children's area, presenting interactive theatrical shows including plays and engaging stories that speak to children's imagination and boost listening and dialogue skills. The area also includes two rest zones equipped with games and comfort amenities, providing a complete experience for children and young people throughout the fair.

This approach is part of the commission's vision to transform reading from a mere cognitive act into a living experience that touches children's emotions and builds early bridges with the world of literature and knowledge. It also represents one of the commission's strategic pillars in strengthening new generations' relationship with books in an era of rapid digital transformation.

The fair continues until August 4, 2025, offering a diverse program of seminars and cultural dialogues, with the participation of a select group of local and international writers and intellectuals, amid a vibrant cultural atmosphere extending daily until midnight.
