Meet Rashid Al Mansoori – Your Local Friend in the Digital World
In the words of Rashid Al Mansoori, “How good a story is depends on how good a storyteller is”—and if you ask him, well, he’s the best. Ya habibi, storytelling isn’t just about words; it’s about passion, perspective, and a little bit of flair.
Rashid was born from an idea—to embody a charismatic, well-traveled, and ever-witty persona. Someone who doesn’t just share stories but brings them to life, making your everyday exploration of the Middle East both entertaining and dependable.
Why Rashid Al Manssori?
The first time we met Rashid, his assuring smile, intellect, commanding presence, and iconic humor instantly put us at ease. ‘I was born to share stories,’ he jokes, ‘but if that career ever fails, I’ll open a falafel stand. Either way, I’ll keep people coming back for more.’
He’s the kind of storyteller who can weave history into a casual conversation, turn a simple stroll through the souks into an adventure, and, of course, debate endlessly about where to find the best shawarma. He swears by a hidden spot in Amman but won’t tell you unless you ask nicely.
From baklava to oud-scented evenings, from timeless traditions to the region’s latest innovations, Rashid knows the Middle East inside and out. But what truly made him part of Marhabein wasn’t just his knowledge—it was his values, energy, and undeniable pride in Middle Eastern culture.
More than a voice, Rashid is a guide, a trendspotter, and the digital soul of Marhabein, ensuring that every story worth telling is captured, shared, and celebrated.

Our Story?
Marhabein was born from a deep appreciation for the Middle East’s unique yet universal charm—a place where tradition and modernity coexist in the most awe-inspiring ways. As storytellers, we traveled through the region, from the mesmerizing architecture in Oman to the dazzling skyline of Dubai and the cultural richness of Qatar. Everywhere we went, we saw visitors amazed by the warmth of the people, the grandeur of historic sites, and the cutting-edge innovations shaping the future.
But we also noticed something—each day, so much happens across the Middle East, yet locals and tourists alike often miss out on it. A grand sale in Dubai, a concert in Riyadh, a local festival in Muscat—exciting events unfold constantly, but not everyone knows where to find them. That’s when we realized the need for a platform that brings every small and big happening to light, making sure no moment of this vibrant region goes unnoticed.
كن التغير الذي تريد أن تراه في العالم
“Kun al-taghyir alladhee tureed an taraahu fi al-‘alam.”
“Be the change you want to see in the world.”
With this vision in mind, we built Marhabein—a space dedicated to bringing the world closer to the Middle East. Whether it’s uncovering hidden gems, exploring the latest trends, or keeping you informed about the most exciting events, our mission is to showcase the Middle East in all its brilliance.
Why Marhabein?
Why did we choose this name for our platform? Because Marhabein is more than just a greeting—it’s a gesture of warmth, an open invitation, a way of saying, you belong here.
In the Middle East, conversations begin with Marhabein, friendships are formed over it, and doors open with it. We wanted a name that expresses this spirit—a name that reflects the stories, traditions, and modern pulse of the region.
But Marhabein also represents connection, inclusivity, and evolution.
While Marhaba is a traditional welcome, Marhabein represents something bigger. It’s a modern twist, a fresh identity that blends tradition with a new perspective—just like our platform does for the Middle East. Language, like culture, is always evolving, and Marhabein is our way of saying that the Middle East is not just one thing—it’s many stories, voices, and experiences coming together.
Because Habibi, you deserve a welcome like no other.
If you ever knock on a door in the Middle East, you won’t be met with silence. Instead, you’ll hear a heartfelt Marhabein!—a welcome that instantly makes you feel at home, no matter where you come from.
That’s the spirit of our platform: a place where you’re always accepted, where stories bring us closer, and where the magic of the Middle East unfolds before you.

Qatar has recently emerged as a standout in the region’s tourism sector, witnessing a remarkable 147% increase in international tourist arrivals compared to pre-pandemic levels.
