STARTING ON A PATH OF KNOWLEDGE SERIES
PART 1
Compiled by Aboo Ubaidah Amr bin Basheer
Here is a list of some of the bookshops found in the city of Riyadh, with some advice and information, which I will try to update in the future.
These are the main book shops, which I?ve so far, come across. There many other stationary shops, with small selection of religious books, dotted around the city.
The addresses are a rough idea of location, but you can contact me if you need details or are looking for any particular books.
