Unlock Palestinian Cultural Heritage

In response to the limited availability of literature authored by Palestinians on their cultural heritage, RIWAQ launched its eBook platform. This initiative is a crucial resource for those eager to explore Palestine's rich history and traditions. The platform facilitates easy access to publications, promoting learning and preservation. By offering both complimentary and subscription-based content, RIWAQ ensures a broad audience can engage with this significant cultural material. This platform is an essential tool for education, research, and cultural appreciation within Palestine and internationally.
