We connect people across cultures from the Middle East to Africa, Asia and Latin America, and bring diasporas closer to their roots. We connect diasporas with their roots , and with new opportunities across regions.

Through storytelling, mentoring, curated conversations and real-world experiences, we open new paths for collaboration, creativity and opportunity.

Work with Makaani

A platform where culture, heritage and future meet
with room for your brand to be part of the story.

Makaani is a global media house and cultural network that connects leaders, creatives, and communities across the globe. For brands and organizations, we open a space to collaborate, co-create, and be seen within a curated cultural context. Authentic, sophisticated, and future- driven.

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.
