The fair will run daily from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. for a week.
Explaining the reason behind the higher discount for Arabic books, Gharib mentioned, “The readership for Arabic books among our audience is smaller compared to Kurdish books, so we increased the discount to encourage more people to purchase and read Arabic books.”
