The festival is the Middle East’s largest celebration of the written and spoken word and pays host to writers, poets, thinkers and speakers from around the world.
The 2017 Festival will be held from March 3 to 11 and will see 160 authors from more than 30 countries conducting 250 sessions.
Highlights include Jon Ronson, an author of several best selling books; Alan Titchmarsh a well-known British broadcaster and Jeffrey Archer, a former politician turned author.
There will be several workshops and interactive sessions for budding writers and enthusiasts and the festival will also be conducting creative writing courses with authors Patrick Gale, Sue Moorcroft, Tamsyn Murray and Fatima Sharafeddine.
There are also plenty of children’s authors in attendance to tell tales of monsters, vampires, zombies, ghosts and aliens so little ones of all ages will be entertained.
