Magrudy’s Flagship Shop Opens at Dubai Festival City
Saturday, March 15th saw the opening of Magrudy’s flagship bookshop at Dubai Festival City. The event was a resounding success, with thousands turning up to see the Middle East’s largest bookshop. With competitions, special 50% discounts, and a troupe of traditional Arabic sword-dancers, the crowds rivalled if not surpassed those at the release of the seventh Harry Potter book last year.
Magrudy’s Festival City aims for nothing less than to be the centre of Dubai’s reading world, offering a wider selection than any other bookshop in the Gulf while continuing to offer the best value and best service to our customers.

Behaviour of Moths
Poppy Adams
From her lookout on the first floor, Ginny watches and waits for her adored younger sister to return to the crumbling mansion that was once their idyllic childhood home.
