ABU DHABI / WAM

In line with the UAE’s ambitious vision for digital transformation and its commitment to utilising the latest software, technologies, and artificial intelligence, organisers of the 33rd Abu Dhabi International Book Fair (ADIBF 2024) have introduced a digital payment system for visitors to use at the event.

The system is the first of its kind in the Arab world and positions the ADIBF, as the first cashless book fair. It operates using a device designed and programmed specifically for the Fair and connected to various banks’ payment networks. The system allows users to pay with their cards, Apple Pay accounts, or other similar methods, through devices available in the exhibition halls.

Visitors carrying only cash can deposit the amount into the device and receive a card loaded with the deposited amount, allowing them to pay for books from any available device in the Fair. If
