The website offers a comprehensive library of Arabic books, references, and translations, accessible to diverse audiences, including youth, students, content creators, media professionals, teachers, educators, and academic institutions. Furthermore, its simple, user-friendly design enables visitors to search, read, and access information seamlessly. The digital content will be regularly updated with the latest books, studies, and scientific, intellectual, and knowledge resources, catering to the needs of users from diverse backgrounds and disciplines.
The website also includes dedicated sections for ‘Bil Arabi’ competitions as well as various awards and challenges at both regional and international levels, with a focus on the Arabic language.
