The first Indian Social Club Book fest was held in 2018 in the month of March. Al Bhaj Books, being the premier book distributors in the country, held hands with the honourable Indian Embassy and the Indian Social club, Muscat to organize a prime Book Fair. This was a good opportunity for the Expatriate community to visit a major Book fair in Oman.
