The Cairo International Book Fair is one of the biggest book fairs in the world, drawing hundreds of book sellers from around the world and about 2 million visitors each year. It is the largest book fair in the Arab world,〔("Censorship trims fare at Cairo International Book Fair" ) (Agence France Presse), ''The Daily Star'' (Lebanon), 29 January 2008.〕〔Huda al-Kibsi, ("Crowds flocking to Sana’a International Book Fair" ), ''Yemen Observer'', 30 October 2007.〕 as well as the oldest.〔Maya Jaggi, ("'They let the dogs yap'" ), ''The Guardian'', Saturday, 9 February 2008.〕 In 2006, it was the second largest book fair in the world after the Frankfurt Book Fair.〔Seif Kamel, ("The 38th International Book Fair" ), ''Tour Egypt'', 24 January 2006.〕
The fair is also notable as Cairo-based publishers produce an estimated three of five Arabic language books printed in the world,〔 and the state owned General Egyptian Book Organisation — who coordinate the fair — is the largest book publisher in the Arab world.〔 The fair features booths and speakers from private publishers and government agencies from around the world, as well as retailers of books, video, and other media.〔(Speakers at the 41st Cairo International Book Fair ). The British Council (2009).〕〔Zvi Bar'el, ("High interest, no readers" ). ''Haaretz'', February 2008.〕 Lectures, readings, and other public events take place during the almost three weeks over which the book fair runs, and material is presented in Arabic, English, and other languages. The fair purposely appeals to ordinary Egyptians, with media on mainstream topics, outdoor events, and even fireworks to entertain the large crowds.〔Sherif Abdel-Samad, ("Johannes Ebert: A mandate to dialogue" ), ''Al-Ahram Weekly'', 8-14 March 2007.〕
The CIBF was founded by the General Egyptian Book Organisation, a government publishers and retailers group, in 1969 to coincide with celebrations of the 1000th anniversary of the founding of the city of Cairo.〔 Its 41st iteration was held from 21 January to 5 February 2009.〔(Cairo International Book Fair, 21 January-5 February: Programme ). ''Al-Ahram'', January 2009.〕
