Arabic term or phrase: المعارض
Hi everyone,

فالكرة تشغيل للجسد، وتحريك الطاقة والحيوية والاستمتاع، في حين الكتابة تحتاج لجهد عقلي وتفكير وتحليل وانتباه، ونحن شعوب لا تريد التفكير وتشغيل المخ؛ لذلك نجد زحامًا على مباراة كرة في حين المكتبات فارغة والرائج في المعارض كتب الأبراج والتنجيم والطبخ وكتب السحر والشعوذة.

I'm translating an article about the similarities and differences between writing and football. I've currently translated this word as "book fairs" but am really not sure about it. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
