At HEKAYA WORLD, storytelling is at the heart of everything we do. The word Hekaya translates to “story” in Arabic, and we live up to that name by creating cinematic experiences that resonate deeply with audiences.

We proudly collaborate with renowned directors, singers, editors, and scriptwriters from around the world, bringing global talent together to craft unforgettable, high-impact storytelling experiences. This international collaboration ensures each project we deliver reflects creativity, quality, and cultural depth.

Our fully equipped in-house theater is perfect for multi-purpose use, including musical performances, stand-up comedy, keynote talks, plays, seminars, screenings, and private events.

Beyond film, our production department manages indoor and outdoor events and provides full-spectrum production services from concept to execution, from concept to execution - Including video editing and post-production.
