A comprehensive digital library that houses 6,000+ books in 4 languages, it supports major book formats such as PDF and EPUB3, all of which can be accessed online or downloaded for offline reading, and read on all electronic devices.

Al Diwan is innovatively designed using digital reading technologies with a focus on education for the purpose of increasing efficiency and engagement in learning. It uses videos, interactive images, and widgets to engage and support student participation. 

Al Diwan is accessibility-ready, combining unlimited 24/7 access to books with the flexibility of self-paced learning to provide an alternative learning experience. Its fully customisable features also make it an ideal reading solution for people of determination.
