At the book fair in Sharjah present rarities from Oman and treat sweets from St. Petersburg

The 45th International Book Fair is held in Sharjah. Every year, a country is appointed here - an honorary guest, who represents her achievements in the field of literature and art as much as possible. A year ago it was Greece, and now the Sultanate of Oman, where 43 writers and poets came from. Al-Ayala performs a half-hour concert several times a day. The honored guests brought copies of ancient manuscripts to the UAE and organized an exhibition of dolls in national women’s clothing. At autograph sessions, writers from different countries not only sign books. But they also treat you to sweets. There's a big box of candy in front of everyone. On the table in front of an Arab author stood a slide of chocolate from St. Petersburg. He didn't know it himself. In order to get to the fair on the weekend, visitors have to stand in a long queue, and having passed it to a certain point, stand in a new, separate for men and women.
