Once summer has come to an end, Casa Árabe’s schedule of events will be
back, with a full range of new activities. We have provided you with a
preview below.
In September, we will be resuming our regular schedule of events, including all of the following activities:
CONFERENCES
- In order to become more familiar with the shari’a, the Muslims’ sacred law, we are holding a conference series of which we have already hosted nine sessions. On September 14, we will be starting the series again with a new presentation about Islamic finance, to be given by Adday Hernández of the CSIC.
- Islamic finance is of great interest to us, which is why we have devoted a full event series to performing an in-depth analysis of the situation in North Africa. While the initial sessions were devoted to Algeria and Morocco, on September 23, we will be taking a closer look at Tunisia.
- The program Aula Árabe Universitaria is now a regular part of our event schedule, as well. During this third edition for the academic year of 2021-22, we will be hosting over 15 conferences organized with the cooperation of different universities to take a more in-depth look at past and present times in the Arab world, with some of the main experts in each subject. The opening session will be held on September 27.
BOOKS AND PUBLICATIONS
- The Madrid Book Fair is taking place this year from September 10 to 26, and as always, we will be attending with our own stand for the Balqís bookshop. Within the framework of this fair, we will be presenting the following works:
Monday, September 13: “Abderrahman al Dahil: The Émigré Prince,” (published by Utopía), by Daniel Valdivieso, with Eduardo Manzano. We will also be holding two sessions on this work, as part of our “Delving into Al-Andalus” reading workshop (from September 23 through October 27).

COURSES
- With the new academic year beginning, on Wednesday, September 1 we will begin the registration period for our Arabic Language Center courses, with several new options: we are giving courses in person and online, and there are seniors courses and brand-new discounts for large families.
- If you would like to learn about archeology and history in a fun, entertaining way, the workshops we have organized at our Cordoba headquarters with SextoMario are the best choice. On September 23, they will be back with a session about the secrets of the hammam.
