The Abu Dhabi International Book Fair runs from 26 April to 5 May 2025 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre from 9:00 AM – 10:00 PM.  This year the theme of the Book Fair is “Knowledge Illuminates Our Community”.

The Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi (NHMAD) has its own stand at the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair which includes a display of fossil replicas of Tyrannosaurus rex teeth and a Megalodon tooth, an interactive touch screen quiz, a work station for children to colour in stencils of various animals onto tote bags, as well as a display of books published by NHMAD staff.

Several NHMAD staff gave talks at the Book Fair including: Rebecca Desjardins (Birds of Abu Dhabi), Dr Ludovic Ferrière (Touch the Moon), Dr Mark Jonathan Beech (Abu Dhabi 7 million years ago:  a story told by fossils displayed in the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi) and Judith McAlester (A Sneak Peek into the Natural History Museum Abu Dhabi).
