“Read, Learn, Grow Across America” with the US Embassy at the 2024 Doha International Book Fair

The U.S. Embassy will participate in the 33rd Doha International Book Fair (DIBF) at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center from May 9 to 18. The US stand offers visitors a diverse selection of literature under the motto “Read, Learn, Grow Across America”.

There are over 3,700 books available for purchase at the U.S. Embassy booth, including more than 420 discounted titles. The collection, which ranges from children’s stories to best-selling novels, explores topics in STEM, education, sustainability and business. Additionally, the booth offers free resources and guides to U.S. universities and popular tourism destinations.

EducationUSA will provide daily free academic advising services and guide visitors through U.S. higher education opportunities to promote academic exchanges between the U.S. and Qatar. The stand will also feature works by renowned American writers and publishers, accompanied by bilingual books in Arabic and English to promote language learning.

Located in Hall 1 near the Cultural Lounge and Live Cooking Station, the booth offers a glimpse of America’s scenic beauty with images from the U.S. National Parks in Hawaii, Maine and Washington. In keeping with its commitment to sustainability, the US Embassy has reused its stand frame starting in 2023 to reduce waste and environmental impact.

The U.S. Embassy is proud to have continually participated in DIBF since 1998, promoting literacy and cultural exchange among readers. All visitors are welcome to the U.S. Embassy booth to explore a diverse selection of books and discover free resources about U.S. destinations and higher education.
