Is it just me or does no one know where to buy Sharpies markers in Dubai !!!
I googled it, and came up with a few folks, who have claimed that you could find them at certain hypermarkets. I have nearly half a dozen projects lined up for these markers so I started my own little hunt for these markers which quite as much spiraled into a HUGE MISSION !! Here are the places that disappointed me so :-
Carrefour hypermarkets ( Mall of Emirates as well as Mirdiff City Center )
Spinneys (Mercato and Al wasl road )
Choitrams
Geant in Ibn Batuta
Hyper Panda in Festival city
Magrudys in Deira City Center
Virgin in Dubai Mall
Hamleys in Dubai Mall
Book World in Dubai Mall
Dubai Library distribution ( Sheikh Zayed Road)
Ace Hardware ( you do get various markers there occasionally)
Farooq stationery ( Al Mamzar )
Now THAT is a HUGE search for these markers and I really doubt there are any more stores left for me to check out !!!! It is really surprising how such versatile markers are no where to be found in Dubai !!!
But ofcourse, if I have missed any reputed bookstore or stationery store, where you have bumped into them, please do let me know. For now, I have had to request my cousin to pop some over from UK !!
So yeah, my search turns up Zilch !! So dear crafters, creative folks and sharpies fans, Sharpies Markers are NO WHERE in Dubai !!!
Correction !!!
The following three Blog friends have confirmed that they HAVE bought Sharpies from Dubai :-
Nyla bought sharpies from WHsmith in The Dubai Mall
Areej bought sharpies from Paper chase at Dubai Mall
Nuweera bought sharpies from Art shop (first floor) at Beach Center (Jumeirah Road)
So the new verdict is that Sharpies are available in Dubai at the above locations !!
UPDATE ON 2nd Feb – 2015
Sharpies are available at Creative Minds
Ultra fine point – dhs 10 (single)
Fine Point – dhs 10 (single )

Hi Niranjana ! Thank you for visiting me and your lovely comment. Well, apparently, Paper chase does stock sharpies at their Dubai Mall outlet, however, I cannot confirm if they are carrying them at MCC. Regards
Just bought Sharpies in the Art shop on first floor in Beach Center on Jumeira Beach Rd if you are still interested…… 80’s Glam limited edition no less
Thanks Nuwerra ! I’ll be sure to pop over and pile some up before its all over !

That’s great ! So finally we have some good news ~ Sharpies have been sourced at WHsmith in Dubai Mall !! However, I am unaware of the price range though.
Thank you updating us Nayla.

Nura, it is available in the range of dhs 10 – dhs 15 at Creative Minds
hey naush its khushi and i wanted to ask u that how much do they cost.do u have any info about that?pls let me know as soon as u can pls
Hi Khushi. There are three different variations of sharpies markers available at Creative Mind. But on an average the normal sharpies costs around dhs 10 – 12.
Creative minds had them, though I wanted a find point white and they were out of them.
Hi Jenni. Fine point in white color is one of my favorites too !! If and when you do, buy them, let me know too !
Sharpie Pens are Available online as well! souq.com to be precise. I live in sharjah and going all the way to dubai mall and jumeirah is quite difficult. Thinking of Online Shopping =D
I agree with you Khadija. The traffic between sharjah and Dubai is not to be messed with !! 🙂
Khadija, Just had a look at souq.com and apparently, they have all brands of markers but the sharpie brand 😦
They sell them at Toys R Us in Festival City aswell, at least last time I was there, they had them.
That’s good info Hafsa. But are they available now ?
Hi Naush! Thank you for this post! I am wondering if you know other stores which offer various kinds of pens? I am addicted to pens since I was in grade school and now that I’m working here in Dubai, I still want to stack pens even though I barely use it! Thanks in advance! 🙂
Hello Jilianne
My father, too, liked to collect pens. Vintage as well as modern. Dubai does not have a very vibrant market with reference to stationery. There are a handful of regular stationery stores like :- Dubai Library distribution, Farouk stationery, Al Furqan bookshop, AMJ Stationery, Office Rock. However for variety, you could also try stores like Typos, Magrudys, Daiso, Creative Minds. Sometimes, even bookshops like Pioneer, Borders and Kinokuniya carry pens. And then there are obvious places like Carrefour supermarket, Geant or Hyperpanda.
If you do find pens elsewhere, please do share with us.
All the best

So on a hunt of my own i recently came across this online store in Dubai called thegoodstuff.ae. they are legit, they have got their own online store and they also participate in Ripe Market. And YES! they have got sharpie for really good price.

Sorry for the delay in replying. Sharpies are available at outlets including Creative Minds and Virgin Megastore.
Any idea where I could find Sharpie highlighters in Dubai? 😀
Hi Arathi. Quite a few stores have started stocking sharpies regular and fine tip. However, you could try Virgin Megastore for the sharpies flat highlighters.
