ASALA

SOCIAL CLUB

Four creative women—Dr. Rama Hijjawi, Rana Albasha, Reem Abousaif, and Hiba Albasha—came together in Asalah with a shared purpose: to preserve and celebrate our cultural heritage for generations to come. With one goal in mind, we are committed to keeping traditional practices alive and thriving, creating a space where our rich history is honored and passed down with pride. Asalah represents the beginning of a powerful journey that connects us to our roots while embracing the beauty of our culture for generations to come. This is just the start of something meaningful and enduring.
