Motivate Publishing's Arabian Gallery boasts a wide range of Motivate books and selected Middle Eastern titles from other publishers.

Motivate's book-publishing division celebrated 20 years in 2005 with the opening of the Arabian Gallery. At 3,000 square feet in size, it is one of the largest bookshops in the region and the only specialised outlet in the Middle East that deals exclusively with Arabian-themed books. Motivate's full range of authoritative books, dedicated to Arabian heritage, are all available for purchase, in addition to titles from other publishers from around the world.

No attention to detail has been spared in the design and operation of this new venture. The layout of the shop provides the most conducive setting for book browsing, selection and purchase, with simple, modular shapes and comfortable seating affording a clean, light environment. Display cabinets containing memorabilia from the time of Sir Wilfred's life among the Bedu, provide authentic finishing touches and include a camel stick that belonged to Thesiger's guide, bin Kabina, a camel saddle and one of Sir Wilfred's Leicas, with which he took many of the striking photographs seen in his books.

Alongside a comprehensive range of books, a gallery of fine-art prints of Arabia by photographers including Sir Wilfred Thesiger, Noor Ali Rashid, Ramesh Shukla and Patrick Lichfield are offered for sale together with a number of original paintings by artists famous for their Arabian work.

Come to visit the Arabian Gallery at Motivate Publishing's head office in Garhoud, Dubai. Our opening times are from 08.00 to 19.00, Sunday to Thursday.
