For people who live between cultures.
For builders rooted in heritage.
For those who want success with value.
[مكاني] /MA·’KA·NI/
Arabic for “my place”
We connect people across cultures from the Middle East to Africa, Asia and Latin America, and bring diasporas closer to their roots, with new opportunities across regions.
Through storytelling, curated conversations and real-world experiences. A modern Silk Road of culture, opportunity and belonging.
The Membership
Millions of people live between cultures. Makaani turns that perspective into strength, connecting heritage with ambition, community with opportunity.
Too many people grow up between cultures. Too many are taught to adapt quietly. Too many succeed but feel disconnected.
Makaani exists so you don’t have to shrink, translate, or split yourself in two. Here, your heritage is not something you explain. It’s something you build from.

Your membership helps finance the scholarships awarded each quarter, directly supporting creatives and entrepreneurs in the diaspora — so when you join, you’re not just accessing a network. You’re helping others build theirs.
A global network and media house,
home of heritage and identity.
We connect diasporas to their roots and brings cultures together,
from the Arab world to Africa, Asia, and Latin America.
OUR MISSION
See the world differently:
explore destinations in a meaningful way, through people, not just tourism.
discover heritage-driven brands, creatives & entrepreneurs.
get real guidance for a more meaningful, connected way to experience the world.
OUR WAY
And we do that by:
sharing new narratives, diaspora stories & heritage brands.
connecting the non-Western world & its diaspora, acting as a modern Silk Road.
establishing a global network for travel, mentoring & meaningful experiences.
Finally, a space that speaks your language -
culturally, emotionally, and globally.
This is not another platform. There's no space quite like this - where the diaspora connects not only with each other but also with their roots.
Join over 15.000 others sharing wisdom, stories, and co-creating the future by honouring the past.
