How to say
"ahlanwasahlan"

The phrase means "hello and welcome" or "nice to meet you" in Standard Arabic and is used colloquially and in formal situations across the Arab world.

We chose the phrase to represent what we do because we would like to bring environmental and social responsibility to the forefront of the conversation.

Want to learn Arabic or practice the Arabic you know in a friendly environment?
