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. And this little bookworm isn’t complaining at all that it will blow down our budgets. Truth be told, it actually won’t, considering the howlingly good discounts being offered.
You can get your paws on books marked down by up to 75% on the original price! The world’s largest book sale is returning to the Sound Stages at Dubai Sports City from March 1-10. Bibliophiles in Dubai can browse through over two million different titles, spanning every genre and language imaginable from 10am-12am. Entry is free.
New additions at Big Bad Wolf Wolf Book Fair
Fiction, non-fiction, novels, autobiographies, cookbooks, children’s books and more in Arabic, English, and French will be stacked sky-high on tables at the book fair’s massive warehouse location for its fifth edition.
It’s also a great excuse to build a better home library. In the past, books have been sold for as less as AED 2 at this fair. Plus, #shelfie opportunities for Instagram. One of the highlights this year is business-related books being sold for cut-rate prices. And if all that page-turning leaves you ravenous, a range of food trucks parked around the venue will sort you out.
Not a reader? Or perhaps, you’re an e-reader. We’d recommend still heading out to the book sale and snapping up some tomes as Eid gifts for those who love the heft and smell of physical books, since Ramadan is just around the cirner. Moreover, you can also purchase gift vouchers that your book-loving friends and family can use to splurge on books at the fair.
