"Home of my spirit and belonging"I turn to you and my heart is fond of nostalgia, when I see you, a tape of memories begins to narrate those precious moments. When I look around me, I see different sides of you. I then smile and my soul calms down, because my longing for you exceeds all the storm of feelings within me, breaking all constraints that bind me. When I see you my heart screams of joy, so how can I live without you?SAKAN: The fragrance that tells the stories of timeless memories, expressed by the smell of old cloth that cannot be dispensed of because of its precious history, that cloth that is hidden in a wooden box storing artifacts and memories. Sipping on authentic Arabic coffee, a wave of comfort and tranquility fills those memories, carrying the feeling of longing and nostalgia.
