How It All Began
The Marrakech English Book Festival began as a small gathering of Marrakech residents, both Moroccan and international, who believed in the importance of books to connect cultures and inspire minds. What started as a small event has grown into one of Morocco's most anticipated cultural celebrations.
Every two years, MEBF brings together an extraordinary mix of bestselling Moroccan and international authors and illustrators, emerging Moroccan talent, publishers, translators, and thousands of passionate readers. The festival provides a unique platform for cross-cultural dialogue.
From intimate readings in sun-dappled courtyards to thought-provoking panel discussions, MEBF celebrates the richness of storytelling while nurturing the next generation of literary talent in Morocco.
