I spent my high school there (the agony of never having access to electronics parts!!!). Electronics parts are more rare than diamonds over there! All you can get are some common discrete components (resistors, some transistors and diodes). I had people laugh at me for asking if they sold phototransistors (or just some simple stuff like voltage regulators and what-not)<p>tl;dr
hopefully, there'll soon be a Sparkfun-like community (and supplier) in the Middle East...</p></p>

I like the idea of going to a makerspace, grabbing a coffee, and - when I need a part - just walking across the room. I hope it takes off!</p>

I have no idea how viable mixing the retail aspect with the more traditional makerspace will be, especially as a possible franchise, but regardless of the outcome it should be a worthwhile experiment.</p>
