The Arab Youth Center (AYC) HQ, inaugurated in 2017, aims to provide young Arabs with a place and resources to develop their talents and creativity, and motivate them to innovate and excel. Spanning 2,000 square meters, the premises comprise more than 20 activity spaces, where young people can practice their hobbies, and participate in the Center’s programs and initiatives.
The building has been conceptualized entirely by young designers, engineers and business administration professionals. The names of its spaces were inspired by famous cultural establishments of the Arab world throughout history, including intellectual hubs, literary salons and libraries.
