who we are


Al Mohtaraf, a highly versatile design house with branches and affiliated offices in the Arabian Peninsula and the Middle East, we are one of the few specialized graphic design houses in the region. From a culture so rich in graphic tradition, Al Mohtaraf's vision is to carry the seeds of tradition into the contemporary cultural scene of the Arab world.
Over the years, Al Mohtaraf has proven capable of handling a wide range of design tasks, from corporate print, to full-fledged campaigns, to high-end cultural publications. Our experience has enabled us to master cross-cultural projects, and develop a unique style in handling multi-lingual design while preserving the integrity of every language.

Al Mohtaraf's distinctive design abilities are supported and enriched by in-house resources. We have the unique advantage of having an experienced group of professional calligraphers, painters, photographers, writers, journalists and copywriters within our ranks.

All work produced by Al Mohtaraf has been recognized as reflecting real talent and originality, enthusiasm, dedication, concern for detail and unrelenting follow up from inception to delivery. This is true of every job no matter how small or large.Among Al Mohtaraf's list of clients are huge conglomerates. Our areas of specialization include logo development, corporate identity manuals, brochures and annual reports, publication design covering cultural magazines and books, cards, calendars and packaging design.

Above all, Al Mohtaraf is a graphic house with a passion for design.
