Hi all

 

Are there shops like Blockbuster to hire DVD's? If so, how expensive it usually is?

 

ALso are books and magazines affordable and up to date?

 

Thanks

Hi,

There are no Blockbuster's here but you can rent DVD's from several places in Qatar.  My favorite happens to be the grocery store inside the Mall.  Just deposit 100QR and if you return the movie the following day they will refund all your deposit minus the 10QR rental fee.

Should tryout the MES Library ....lots of Books.

Also try out Qatar National Library.......Chock-a-block with books

 

Well for the DVDs you could try the LULU Hyper QR 15.

u are coming to the desert, don't forget that... thx God u didnot ask if they deliver the dvds to your door like in the US...

I don't wanna sound too harsh but keep your expectations low, otherwise u will get really upset.

For books and magazines no place like Barnes and Nobles all u get a small collection in Virgin.
