al-hakawati Arab Cultural Trust is an not for profit educational organization based in the United Sates and Lebanon aiming at telling the story of Arab heritage and civilization through folktales, and fairy tales from the Arab and Islamic heritage, biographies of personalities ancient to modern, artists and their arts, architecture, the environment and religions.
Content published on al-hakawati content originates from the 22 states members of the Arab League, and can be browsed/accessed via the ten following sections:
- Stories and Tales
- Personalities
- States
- Cities and Regions
- Civilizations
- Arts and Artists
- Histories and Culture
- Environment
- Architecture
- Religions.
The section Stories and Tales will particularly appeal to Arabic language learners in search of easy texts to practice their reading skills: the Children Literature collection is quite interesting. Similarly, amateurs interested in Arab and Islamic Heritage will find valuable resources on different topics. However, due to the lack of accurate citation and attribution of writings, academics and scholars will not be able to use content published on al-hakawati. The website is available in English and Arabic
