Printing, Publishing and Distribution
Adab has a leading publishing and distribution house dedicated to producing, printing, and distributing distinguished books in literature, criticism, thought, and culture, carefully selecting titles of high value and enduring content. Adab Publishing regularly takes part in the most important local and international book fairs, and offers its publications through a modern online store that reaches readers around the world.
The house has received prestigious local and regional awards, including the Best Saudi Publisher Award for 2024, the Excellence in Publishing Award for 2023 and 2025, and the Sheikh Zayed Book Award, in recognition of its efforts to strengthen the presence of the Arabic book and bring knowledge to the widest possible readership.
Last year, Adab carried out one of the most significant cultural and research projects supporting Saudi authors — writers, poets, critics, and researchers — to produce 100 distinguished, peer-reviewed books. They were selected and reviewed by a specialized advisory committee and a scientific committee from among more than a thousand books and scholarly and critical studies, then printed, published, and distributed through various sales outlets, including the Adab online store, and showcased at local and international book fairs.
