Concept
Abu Ahmed is an Arab traveler who decided to carry in his memory a dear picture of his village with its beautiful stones while travelling the world. Abu Ahmad’s determination prevented him from resting or relaxing before raising his life motto: “With love and nostalgia, the village can invade the city”. After the establishment of Assaha village in Lebanon, Kuwait, Qatar and Sudan, this charming Lebanese traditional village entered the European world and settled in the heart of the British capital, as a great witness to the Arabic and Islamic civilizations, which are deeply rooted in history and constitute a rich heritage loaded with our ancestors’ stories.
