A standout feature is "Ethiopian Coffee," which embodies hospitality and heritage. It is prepared using traditional methods that vary across the continent. Visitors can enjoy a range of unique flavours, with Ethiopian coffee celebrated for its high-quality beans and rich taste, according to SPA.

The zone's kiosks also offer handcrafted African products, such as accessories and clothing, reflecting traditional craftsmanship and African aesthetics.

The Jeddah Book Fair came to a close on Saturday after 10 days during which it hosted more than 1,000 local, Arab, and international publishing houses and agencies.

The event was organized by the Literature, Publishing, and Translation Commission at the Jeddah Superdome under the slogan "Jeddah Reads".

The fair boasted over 450 pavilions, providing an exceptional cultural experience for visitors.

Commission CEO Dr. Mohammad Hasan Alwan thanked the Saudi leadership for its unwavering support for the cultural movement in the Kingdom.

This was the third edition of the fair to be held this year, with Riyadh and Madinah hosting the first two.

Alwan said the fair drew a remarkable attendance, which testifies to the development of the cultural scene in the Kingdom.

About 400,000 titles were displayed and over 450,000 books covering a range of topics were sold.

The Ministry of Culture is seeking to transform the Kingdom into a major platform for the publishing and distribution industry by providing an ideal environment that meets the needs of both readers and publishing houses, Alwan said.
