Bringing alive
the chronicles
of Arabia
Welcome to Kitaba, a mobile-first cultural publishing platform dedicated to the living heritage of the Arab world.
Culture as a Collaborative Creation
Kitaba is a cultural publishing platform dedicated to the global circulation of Arab heritage. We present art, literature, architecture and the intellectual traditions of the Arab world through a mobile-first magazine, photobooks, and vertical videos for contemporary audiences.
As the primary library of humanity now lives on the smartphone, Kitaba brings the depth of classical culture into formats suited to the modern reader—without losing the dignity, scholarship and permanence that great works deserve. Ensuring that Arab heritage continues to travel across languages, cultures and generations across the world.

Mobile-first. Text, images & videos. Project-based. Patron-funded. Distributed digitally and physically among institutions.
