The 33rd edition of the Tehran International Book Fair (TIBF) is underway in Imam Khomeini Musalla in the capital of Iran.

Iran’s biggest cultural event ever was inaugurated on May 10 after two years of lockdowns caused by the outbreak of COVID-19.

The inauguration ceremony was attended by Iran’s President Ebrahim Raisi.

The event with the motto “With Reading, We Feel Healthy” has been warmly welcomed by the visitors.

The cultural event, which will be running through May 21, 2022, has turned into a momentous book fair in the Middle East after 32 editions held in a row.    

Some 170 publishers from 32 countries, including Switzerland, India, Hong Kong, Germany, USA, Italy, China and Russia, are participating in the book fair, which is hosting Qatar as its special guest.

The event also hosts 700 Iranian publishers in person and over 1,900 others virtually this year.

Besides the in-person edition, a virtual edition of the event can be also found on ketab.ir.
