#WeDontRideCamels

I am in the process of exploring the Arab versions of well-known 'Western' websites & platforms.   
Souq.com is the Middle East's version of Amazon established in 2005. [Souq means market]



My favourite is Zoomaal. Zoomaal is a crowdfunding platform in the Arab world (like Kickstarter) - with an emphasis on artistic projects.







This is Zoomaal's twitter handle. Their motto is 'We Don't Ride Camels' pointing out that Arabs are creative too. I concur.
