Our story
“Sahaba - سحابة” is the Arabic word for cloud. Founded in 2020, Sahaba Club grew from a community for tech dreamers into a Microsoft partner, an AI hackathon operator, and a home for anyone who wants to build in the AI universe — led by Zoka (Ahmed Abdel Razek), an ex-Microsoft AI and cloud strategist.
