        emirates7 -The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) has introduced its Knowledge Lounge
        initiative in the Arab Republic of Egypt, reinforcing its ongoing efforts to cultivate a culture of quality reading in Arabic and to
        nurture the intellectual potential of young people.

        The launch took place at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina, in a session moderated by writer Said Mahmoud, with the attendance of
        prominent literary and cultural figures.

        Jamal  bin  Huwaireb,  CEO  of  MBRF,  stated,  “Launching  the  Knowledge  Lounge  in  Egypt  represents  an  important  step  in
        MBRF’s regional expansion, aiming to extend our projects to key Arab knowledge hubs. This initiative reflects our commitment
        to  encouraging  reading  among  Arab  youth,  helping  them  broaden  their  horizons  and  develop  expertise  across  diverse
        intellectual fields. Hosting the launch at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina underscores our belief in the significance of this historic
        institution as a center of science, knowledge, and creativity. It also highlights our dedication to implementing initiatives that
        empower minds, enhance skills, and promote openness and knowledge sharing.”


        The session included discussions on the Knowledge Lounge’s history and growth since its inception, particularly its emphasis on
        supporting Arab authors and literature. Participants also noted the success of the initiative in Canada, where it strengthened
        support for Arab writers and promoted Arabic reading among expatriate communities.


        With its expansion into Egypt, the Knowledge Lounge will adopt a similar approach, focusing on Egyptian authors and fostering
        readership within a sustainable framework. The initiative has already proven its impact and continuity, establishing itself as a
        prominent reading club both locally and internationally.
