Benoy Kurien, Group CEO of Al Hamra, said: “We are deeply committed to the local community and this is another example of providing a resource which otherwise would not be available. Throughout the month of January, we will be undertaking an outreach program with schools in the area to offer all students and teachers the opportunity to take advantage of a range of special offers and discounts.”

Anil Abraham, Business Manager of DC Books, said: “After undertaking several successful reading festivals throughout the UAE we wanted to extend our reach to Ras Al Khaimah by bringing our huge selection of both fiction and non-fiction books to Manar Mall. This is the perfect location for us to showcase exactly what we have to offer to young and old.”

The book fair will take place until February 2^nd and is available daily from 10am – 10pm, with a range of special New Year discounts.
