In an era where digital media consumption is reshaping how audiences engage with content, the partnership between Magzter and 7awi Media Group stands as a cornerstone of innovation and accessibility in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. Magzter, a global digital newsstand, has become a pivotal platform for delivering diverse, high-quality content to millions of readers worldwide.

By onboarding 7awi Media Group's portfolio of publications, Magzter is amplifying the reach of one of the MENA region's most dynamic digital media powerhouses, bringing inspiring and entertaining Arabic and English content to a global audience.

The collaboration with Magzter marks a significant milestone for 7awi, as it brings six of its flagship publications to the platform: Inc. Arabia (Arabic and English editions), Layalina, Layalina Privee, Yummy, and Alqiyady Magazine.

These titles reflect 7awi's versatility, covering business and entrepreneurship (Inc. Arabia and Alqiyady), lifestyle and women's interests (Layalina), luxury and fashion (Layalina Privee), and culinary arts (Yummy). By partnering with Magzter, 7awi is able to extend its reach beyond the MENA region, offering readers worldwide access to its rich, culturally resonant content through a seamless digital reading experience.

Founded in 2012, 7awi Media Group — pronounced "Hawi," meaning "wizard" in Arabic—has established itself as a leading independent digital platform in the MENA region. With a robust portfolio of over 15 websites, including Layalina, Layalina Privee, Ra2ej, Alqiyady, ArabsTurbo, Sa2eh, Yummy, and more, 7awi reaches over 15 million monthly visitors and boasts a staggering 60 million social media followers.

"Magzter is thrilled to bring 7awi Media Group's vibrant portfolio to our platform, enabling readers across the globe to access high-quality Arabic and English content.

"7awi's commitment to delivering engaging, diverse, and innovative publications aligns perfectly with Magzter's mission to democratize access to premium digital magazines. This collaboration not only strengthens our offerings in the MENA region but also introduces Arab culture and perspectives to a global audience," Iyer said.

Anas "Andy" Abbar, CEO and Co-Founder of 7awi Media Group, underscores the strategic importance of this partnership. "At 7awi, our goal has always been to create content that resonates with the Arab youth and beyond, delivering stories that inform, entertain, and empower. Partnering with Magzter allows us to take our mission global, connecting with readers who value quality journalism and culturally relevant content. This is a proud moment for us as we continue to innovate and expand our digital footprint," Abbar stated.

Abbar's vision for 7awi is rooted in a deep understanding of the Arab audience and a commitment to leveraging technology to enhance content delivery. With a background that includes 20 years at Microsoft and a stint at Yahoo!, Abbar brings a wealth of expertise to 7awi's operations. His leadership has driven the group to pioneer digital transitions in the region, notably moving from print to fully digital platforms in alignment with initiatives like Dubai Paperless Strategy.

As digital media continues to evolve, the synergy between Magzter and 7awi Media Group represents a forward-looking model for content distribution in the MENA region. By combining 7awi's innovative, audience-centric content with Magzter's global distribution capabilities, this partnership is poised to redefine how Arabic and English publications connect with readers worldwide.
