Bookstores in RIyadh by gmfnkr438

Hey, I wanted to know if there is a bookstore in Riyadh where I can order books in German? Thank you very much

TrippleJ

You must try to Jarir bookstore like above mentioned. There's a lot of Jarir branches around the Kingdom, and maybe you will find some books in German language. Just in case it's not available, Amazon is your second choice. Read More
