Le Bosphore (Ez Zahra) — A Stationery Shop That Makes You Want to Study Again
Hello Steemians,
I hope everyone is doing great today, because I’m back with a brand-new participation for Steemit Challenge – Season 29, Week 2 (Stationery Shop), and this time I decided to share a detailed, real-life review of a place that genuinely feels like a “mini universe of school life,” where books, stationery, backpacks, and creative tools all come together in one organized space that makes you want to plan, study, and create with fresh energy: Le Bosphore (Ez Zahra).
What makes this type of challenge interesting is that it pushes us to go beyond simply saying “the shop is good,” because a truly useful review should describe the atmosphere, facilities, service quality, product variety, promotions, price perception, and personal experience, while also helping other users understand whether the place is worth visiting, especially when they want to prepare for school, upgrade office supplies, or buy creative materials without wasting time moving between different stores.
First Impression: a storefront that instantly communicates “school & stationery”
Before I even stepped inside, the entrance already gave a clear message: this is not a random shop with a few notebooks on the side, but a space designed for students, parents, and anyone who needs reliable supplies, because the signage is visible, the storefront looks clean and structured, and the overall presentation makes you feel confident that you are entering a place where you will actually find what you came for instead of improvising with limited options.
The entrance of Le Bosphore in Ez Zahra feels welcoming and clearly branded, which makes the shop easy to recognize and gives a strong “school supplies & books” identity even before you enter.
Books & Parascolaire: a serious educational corner that feels like exam season preparation
Once inside, one of the strongest sections that caught my attention was the parascolaire / educational books area, because the shelves are filled in a way that makes you immediately understand that Le Bosphore is not only about pens and notebooks, but also about supporting learning through revision materials, study books, and school-related resources, which is extremely helpful for students who want to combine “knowledge tools” and “writing tools” in a single visit.
This shelf shows that Le Bosphore is also a strong school-book destination, offering a dense variety of educational and revision materials that students can use for study and exam preparation.
Atmosphere details: small objects that reinforce the “learning mood”
Sometimes a store feels educational not only because of the products, but also because of the little details that shape the atmosphere, and in my case, seeing two globes displayed inside the shop immediately triggered that “classroom memory” feeling, because a globe is one of those objects that symbolizes discovery, geography lessons, and curiosity, while also functioning as a beautiful decorative element for a student desk or a learning corner at home.

Backpacks & promotions: a visually impressive wall of options for students
One of the most eye-catching areas in Le Bosphore is the BOMI backpack section, because it is presented like a full “back-to-school wall,” with many colors and styles that fit different ages, and what makes it even more attractive is the presence of promotions like -50%, which can make a big difference for parents who want quality products without paying the maximum price during the high-demand season.
The BOMI backpack section is one of the most impressive corners, filled with different models and sizes, and supported by strong promotions that make it especially interesting for back-to-school shopping.
Writing supplies: where the “personality” of a stationery shop becomes visible
For me, the writing supplies aisle is always the “true test” of a stationery shop, because this is where you see whether a store offers only basic items or a real variety of options, and at Le Bosphore I found a rich selection of pens, markers, and writing tools that can satisfy different needs, whether you want smooth everyday pens, colorful markers for revision, or brighter options for highlighting and organizing notes in a more visually effective way.

Creative zone: art tools that make the shop feel bigger than “just stationery”
What I also liked is that Le Bosphore gives creativity a real place, because you can find painting materials and tools that are useful for students, hobby artists, and DIY lovers, and that matters because many people want a shop where they can buy school essentials and also build a small creative kit for projects, presentations, or personal hobbies without needing to travel to an entirely different specialty store.
The art supplies section adds a creative dimension to the shop, offering painting tools and materials that support school projects and personal hobbies.
Kids accessories: practical items that complete the “school routine”
Another section that felt surprisingly useful is the kids accessories corner, especially water bottles and lunch-related items, because it shows that the store understands school life as a full routine, not only notebooks and pens, and that means a parent can prepare a child more completely by buying stationery and daily school accessories during the same visit, saving time while keeping everything consistent and well-chosen.

My purchase goal: simple essentials that matter every day
During my visit, I focused on items that may look basic but are extremely important for daily productivity, especially if you print, write, study, or work with documents regularly, so I purchased an A4 paper ream and a sharpener, because these are the type of supplies that you always need at home or for office tasks, and buying them from a reliable shop gives peace of mind about quality and availability.

Proof of visit: selfie inside the store
To respect the challenge rules, I’m sharing a selfie as proof of visit, and I also tried to keep the background meaningful so it feels like part of the story rather than a random portrait, because showing the stationery environment behind me gives a more authentic sense of place and confirms that the photos were taken during a real visit inside the shop.

Receipt proof: transparency and real prices
Finally, I’m also including the receipt photo because it provides honest proof of purchase, shows real prices in TND, and helps readers understand what they might spend on basic necessities, which is useful for anyone who wants to plan their budget before visiting a stationery shop, especially during the back-to-school period when expenses can add up quickly.
