History of Logos Hope
The Logos Hope is the largest floating bookfair in the world. Sailing around the world and docking at different ports for a couple of weeks at a time, the ship is a booklovers' paradise and hosts more than a million visitors on board each year.
The ship is manned by a crew of volunteers from many nationalities, who also participate in community outreach programs and literacy initiatives.
Launched in 1970 by a German non-profit organization, Logos Hope has since docked at 480 ports in 150 countries, welcoming 49 million visitors on board. Upon its return to Doha, Logos Hope will offer over 5,000 titles for readers to explore. The selection includes books of various genres hailing from different countries and cultures, providing a rich, diverse browsing and shopping experience for book enthusiasts.
Activities on Logo Hope
In addition to its extensive book selection, the ship will host a variety of cultural performances, special events, and activities for all. An international café is located on the first floor, and a children's drama theater is on the second. Please note that most performances require tickets, which can be purchased via Q-tickets.com.

It's an immersive cultural experience that's set to dock in Doha, promising an enriching journey through literature and beyond for all its visitors.
