The nearby branches of Obeikan and Jarir have very few EFL textbooks. Also, the few titles in stock at Obeikan are quite expensive. Are there any decent EFL bookstores in Jeddah?

Jareer is as good as it gets. They can order titles that are not in stock. You think it is bad ? I wish I could show you Jeddahas it was in 1970 when I first went there !

Other than Jarir, the only other option that I know of is the Virgin Megastore in the Red Sea Mall. They have books in English there, but how many EFL books I can't recall. Maybe they can order them? It is worth a try.

I appreciate your replies. I know about Jarir and Obeikan. By coincidence, a student told me earlier tonight about the Virgin store at the Red Sea Mall. I'll check it out one day soon.
