Al7awy is an Arabic word that holds two meanings; magician and container. Magician in the sense of creating magic, and container in the
sense of containing different things.
The idea of Al7awy is based on discovering the potential and talents deep inside of us, discovering the potential of others, and discovering the potential of the world. This is the main road to letting the soul go and improving reality. It is basically about developing our perspectives by examining them from different sides and always starting from within.
W h o a r e w e :
Al7awy started as an entrepreneurship initiative in February 2017 and became a limited liability company in November 2019.
