Bahrain International Book Fair , which is organized by the Ministry of Culture, features many cultural events, and has gained a good reputation internationally throughout the past years in line with the atmosphere of openness and freedom established during His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa's prosperous era.
