The international Delhi book fair 2022 The Delhi international book fair was a unique experience. Put up in the 3 rd and 4 th halls of the Pragati maidan, it offered both new and second-hand books at cheap rates. There was a wide variety of books that one could choose from, including all genres. I would recommend you visit all stores before setting your heart on one, as the same books at different stalls are available at lower rates. All books were in a particularly good condition, and possibly not even second hand! It includes not only a wide range of books but also shedloads of stationery. Stores such as DOMS and Steadler had their stalls, however they hardly offer any discount. Other stationery stores also put up their stalls there and offer discounts. buying more books from a single store might also score you a discount, if you are good at negotiating in the 2022 version, there was a tiny food court inside the hall which had a few local stores alongside dominos and bi

Ferrari World- All You Need to Know Before Your Visit Ferrari world is home to the world's fastest roller coaster  (2022)-The Formula Rossa which attains a speed of 240km/hr in just a few seconds and is a perfect thriller for anyone and everyone. It takes about an hour and a half to reach from Dubai ,and is located about 30 minutes from Abu Dhabi. THE CROWD we went on a Weekday with pre-purchased fast-track tickets,however on arrival,we found absolutely no rush! According to the staff, it is usually quite crowded but when we went, it was empty.There was barely any waiting for rides which enabled us to explore the entire park and even go on a few rides again. I personally suggest you to go on a weekday,when you will surely find less of a crowd than on a weekend. FOOD AND EATING   Food items from outside are allowed.I recommend you to carry a water bottle as the price of water is exceptionally high as compared to that outside in the city (a bottle cost 10 AED).The food prices were re

While visiting the mosque,it is necessary to keep the following in mind- 1-wear sunglasses-the white marble reflects the sun’s light due to which it is hard to see if not wearing eye protection.It is also mostly in the open area,so make sure u wear sun screen as well 2-carry a scarf or long cloth -we assumed that we would be getting abayas or head scarfs while visiting the mosque,but unfortunately that was not the case.After researching a lot on the net about the dress code,we figured that they would give us abayas that we had to wear,however this was no
