Reading culture in Al Reem Island

Reem's cafΓ© culture is cafΓ© culture in formation β€” new specialty coffee shops open every few months, joining established chains and neighbourhood spots that have been serving the towers since the early days of the community. The crowd is young, professional, and well-read.

Al Reem residents tend to be early adopters β€” they chose a new community before it was fully built. The same profile makes them ideal Koottar members. Books pass between neighbours in these towers all the time; Koottar formalises that network and extends it to everyone within 3 km.
