Virgin Megastore Dubai
Posted in Travel on 09 Aug 2006 at 6:30 am
There are a ton of books everywhere! I was all over the dvds and CDs trying to figure out what I wanted and how much weight I could carry! But look at the amount of books! this place is pretty damn big, with a huge selection. I was just picking up book after book and reading through them. If you look at the second picture towards the right there are the brightly colored books which are the explorer books. They are seriously great! Lots of info especially for Dubai and how to get through the Red tape. I bought me a copy just to read through it and stuff.
So many books that I just wrote down to order from Amazon before I forget, but there were some stuff I couldnt resist buying. And I was playing around withe the Black MacBook which was selling for 6800 AEDs (536 KD). And it was so sick! I want to pick one up, but I will wait until I know what exactly is going on with the new OS. The whole Virgin setup there is great! The one in Kuwait is good, and it is improving I will give them that. But they need to put more effort into the book section! Make more presentable and putting new books where people could see them like the Dubai store.
Fantastic! I loved being in there! I miss just chilling at a bookstore!

seriously.. it is an amazing setup. Reminds me of the one in Lebanon, where I used to spend hours. The one in Kuwait also needs to work on their CD section. They have diversification, but not many choices for each. I know I have trouble finding something good in the House section.
