Wonderful bookstore with so many contemporary and old Arabic language books. The owner is very generous, gave us a tour, offered us tea and cookies, and we talked about many things including history, Islam, politics, and his beautiful motivations behind starting and maintaining the bookstore. Highly recommend!

Lovely store! A wide selection of interesting and rare books including a fair number in English for non-arabic speakers. Coming into the store feels like visiting a relative and the owner makes you feel right at home.
