Jarir
Jarir is the go-to bookstore if you want a wide variety of practical school supplies at reasonable prices and banging deals. They’ve got every type of stationery stocked there, be it writing supplies or desk supplies meant for your kid’s study room. You can even get label makers to create cool labels for your kids’ textbooks. For a wider range of options, we’d suggest visiting their larger branches to get everything you need for the new school year.
