There's nothing better than heading to a local bookshop and spending the entire day there, especially if the place is also known for having some of the most delicious snacks and meals.

Luckily for all the bookworms in the region, there are a number of bookstore cafés that will give the reading addict in you just the right fix. You should consider these 8:

The perfect combination of a bistro, a bookshop and some greenery. Located in the heart of Hamra, Clemenceu to be exact, this place is a definite mood booster.

This cozy, neighborhood spot has been around since 2009. If you haven't stepped foot in this place, I guarantee you it will change your life when you do. Completed with a selection of magazines, children reads, graphic novels and much more, this little bookshop is brimming with character.

Located in Jabal Amman, this place is considered to be one of Jordan's most iconic and revolutionary establishments. Having opened its doors in 1997, it is known for nurturing creatives and triggering tectonic shifts in the local culture. It also has a gourmet coffee bar, which is ideal for a night out with a good friend.

With a selection of both English and Arabic books, Kuttab library, founded by Kuttab Publishing, is the place you should consider going to if you want a day of pure relaxation with a funky twist. To get to the café, you have to pass through the library...and I can't gaurantee that you will ever arrive at the café.

The Diwan bookstore transports you out of Cairo's busy streets and into the atmosphere of an old English university town. It's definitely a place for quiet time.
