Al Mezmaah Studies and Research Center was established in 2012 by Dr. Salem Humaid in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

What does Al Mezmaah mean?
It is the beehive that is made of the braided palm straws and spirally coiled as a basket which had many uses by many people on land and sea such as fishermen who used it to carry their precious fishing of oysters and pearls from the sea. Pearl trade was the mainstay of economic life in several UAE cities.

Al Mezmaah is an Emirati symbol for the basket that carries useful information, news, studies and opinions that we have picked for you carefully after deep introspection, so benefit can reach everyone.

The Center publishes research and studies, both in paper and electronically, in addition to holding conferences and seminars, all of which contribute to strengthening the Center’s strategy and enriching the issues it believes in through the following sub-units:
