In the words of Little Red Riding Hood, ‘what great discounts they have!’ ‘The better to read more books with!’ The Big Bad Wolf Book Fair has huffed and puffed (different fairytale, we know) its way back to Dubai for a second time in the same year! And this little bookworm isn’t complaining at all that it will blow our budgets.
Truth be told, it won’t, considering the howlingly good discounts of up to 75% on the original price. The world’s largest book sale is returning to Dubai Sports City from November 29 – December 9 after a packed March edition.
Books from AED 1.99 at Big Bad Wolf Wolf Book Fair
Bibliophiles can browse two million titles spanning a variety of languages, including Arabic, English, and every genre imaginable from 10am-12am. Tables stacked sky-high with fiction, non-fiction, novels, autobiographies, cookbooks, children’s books and more will welcome visitors at this book fair’s massive Sound Stages warehouse location.
It’s also a great excuse to build a better home library. The highlight for this second edition of 2024 is the opportunity to purchase books for the cut-rate price of AED 1.99 for one day only on November 29. And if all that page-turning leaves you ravenous, head to the many food trucks parked around the venue will sort you out. Live music and entertainment will force you to look up from the pages you’re buried in.
Not a reader? Or perhaps, you’re an e-reader. We recommend heading out to the book sale anyway and snapping up some tomes as Christmas gifts for those who love the heft and smell of physical books. Moreover, you can also purchase gift vouchers that your book-loving friends and family can splurge on books at the fair.
