More than 100 authors will descend on Dubai on Tuesday, marking the start of the third Emirates Airline Festival of Literature.
Held under the patronage of His Highness Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai and the Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, the festival this year has added many new strands, including two education days, newly-introduced Gala Nights, Calligraphy and journalism workshops.
Speaking on Monday at the last press conference before the festival starts, Isobel Abulhoul, Festival Director, said: "I believe this year we have got something for everyone - it doesn't matter if you don't enjoy reading, we can change you. You can come in to the festival a non-reader and leave with reading as your top hobby."
