Kutubna x Salt: Meet the Storytellers

In celebration of World Book Day, Kutubna is turning Salt locations across the UAE into magical storytelling spaces — where words come alive and imaginations take flight.

From Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah, our lineup of inspiring authors will bring their voices, stories, and passion for Arabic children’s literature into cozy reading corners designed especially for young minds. Families will be welcomed by our dedicated Kutubna space, created to spark curiosity, connection, and joy through books.

Whether you're in the city or by the coast, there’s a special reading moment waiting for your little ones.
