Business Bay has quietly grown from a construction site into one of Dubai's most liveable mixed-use districts. The canal promenade, rising number of independent cafés, and a resident base of young professionals make it an ideal neighbourhood for a reading community. Find cafes for reading and book exchanges near you in Business Bay, Dubai.
Koottar helps you borrow and share books with readers near you in Business Bay.
The café scene in Business Bay has expanded dramatically in the last three years. Canal-side terraces now attract the after-work crowd looking for something quieter than a bar. Third-wave coffee shops have opened in the newer towers, and the lunch-hour regulars often arrive with a book.
Business Bay residents read for pleasure and for work — you'll see as many business titles and strategy books as you will novels. Koottar's radius covers Business Bay, Downtown, and into DIFC, connecting three of Dubai's most book-friendly professional communities.
