Literary Journey

Celebrating the Emirates Airline Festival of Literature and World Book Day, Emirates took thousands of passengers on a literary journey on 4 March.

A wide range of books originating from a selection of leading Arabic and English authors were distributed both onboard and on the ground to randomly selected passengers.

If you have been the lucky recipient of a book you’re encouraged to share your enjoyment once you have read it by passing it to a friend, colleague, relative, or even leave it somewhere out of the ordinary where another person can pick it up.

By registering the book below, its progress will be tracked. You can also leave comments about the books and perhaps even embark on a further literary journey with Emirates. This could be just the beginning!

  • The Rachel Papers - Martin Amis
