Emirates Airline Festival of Literature 2021

The annual Emirates Airline Festival of Literature concludes at Alserkal Avenue on 12th and 13th February with a celebration of film, food, creativity and all the good things that stem from literature. The festival has been a great success so far, especially given the challenges of holding such an event safely during these times. Check out the programme and book tickets at www.emirateslitfest.com
