The Authentic UAE Cultural Gift I received was my first heartfelt connection to Emirati traditions. – Asma Ahmad, Founder of Zaha Experience
I love my gift from alBeqsha and have it on my wall at home. Many people comment and it is a good opportunity to tell people what I know about the culture of the UAE. The artwork was beautifully packaged and artistically displayed in a simple frame. Maryam is knowledgeable and inspiring, she lights up when she talks about the art and culture of the UAE.- Amy Barbor - Network Manager- School of Social Entrepreneurs - London
The products of alBeqsha narrates the culture and heritage of the UAE in an artful way. Having followed alBeqsha's journey, I am excited to be able to have a part of the culture of the UAE in the form of a souvenir.- Ayesha Naseem
Hala! I’m Maryam Qayed — Emirati, born and raised in Dubai, and the founder of alBeqsha.
The UAE’s sounds, scents, and small rituals have always been part of my everyday life. alBeqsha started as my way of keeping those details alive and inviting others to experience the UAE with more depth and meaning.
I work closely with local artisans to create Authentic UAE Cultural Gifts, Dubai Souvenirs, and pieces inspired by Traditional Emirati Crafts — gifts that feel warm, meaningful, and handmade, not commercial or generic.
Through our Cultural Workshops in Dubai, especially the Perfume Making Workshop in Dubai, I invite people to experience heritage with their own senses — craft a scent, learn a ritual, hear a story, and walk away with something you made and a memory that stays with you.
