Book World

When you’ve got a few hours to spare and enjoy browsing for books, head over to Book World in Satwa. This book shop is crammed full of literary curiosities all the way from second-hand books to comics, music scores and knick-knacks at bargain prices.

Here, you can pick up your favourite best-selling author or hunt for a specific back issue of the National Geographic. Sometimes, you’ll come across a rare cover or two of some of your favourites.

You’ll also find old periodicals and dusty encyclopaedias, mixed with popular romance. The eclectic mix makes Book World a favourite hangout for Dubai’s intellectuals.
