With its highly user-friendly design, the new website also includes a fully integrated book store that allows the people of the UAE, the region and the world to buy any of Kalimat Publishing House's print or e-book titles online. This feature marks a major step forward in increasing the accessibility of quality Arabic children's books, which can often be hard to find otherwise.

In addition, the store locator also provides a listing of other online sites where Kalimat's books may be published.
