She commended the wonderful design of the display, which emphasized Qatar's heritage.

She said that besides selling books, the exhibition provides a range of Ramadan activities and events for the Qatari family. The book fair, which helps all aspects of society and the family, draws many publishing firms from inside and beyond the State of Qatar.

Murielle El Hajj Nahas, director of Lusail University Press (LU Press), told QNA that the publishing house is still in its early stages, having been founded in March 2023 to publish specialized, teaching, and reference books, as well as scientific journals that serve as a bridge between authors and readers across various fields of knowledge to advance and enrich global interaction.

Dr. Aisha Al Kuwari, CEO of Rosa Publishing House, told QNA that the company is participating in the Ramadan Book Fair for the second time, with around 200 book editions.

To meet the requirements of family members and improve public culture, the Rosa publishing company offers a variety of books, including adult and young adult literature, as well as varied intellectual works.

She said that because the exhibition's dominant theme is a family-friendly atmosphere, the emphasis has been on religious literature and books for children.
