In the heart of the city of Nazareth, stands the new AlManarah House—a modern and accessible building that combines aesthetics with functionality, spanning an area of 500 square meters.
The ground floor space includes a vocational training center, state-of-the-art recording studios, and a multi-purpose space for community activities.
Every corner of the house has been meticulously designed to meet diverse accessibility needs, from Braille signage to advanced audio systems, all to create an inclusive and empowering environment for all visitors.
AlManarah House is more than just a building — it is a beacon of hope, opportunity, and social change — a multidisciplinary center.
