Is Nougah a dating app? +
No. Nougah is a marriage app. Everyone who joins agrees to our community promise: this is a marriage-minded community. Free likes are limited each day, a match needs mutual interest, and chat is text only. If you are looking for casual dating, Nougah is not for you.
Who is Nougah for? +
Nougah is built for adults across the Arab world and the MENA region — and for Arabs in the diaspora — who are seriously looking for a spouse. The platform is designed around the values, pace, and respect that come with a marriage-minded search.
Is Nougah halal? +
Nougah is built to respect the values around marriage that matter to our communities. Chat opens only after a mutual match and is text only, you can lock your gallery so others see only a blurred first photo, and the entire platform is structured around marriage as the intention — not casual interaction.
How does Nougah verify members? +
Every account signs up with a verified phone number. Verifying your identity with a live selfie check is optional, but verified members get a badge and a bigger daily coin bonus. Members caught misrepresenting themselves are permanently removed.
Is Nougah available in my country? +
Nougah is built for the MENA region first — including Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Jordan, Morocco, and the wider Arab world — and is open to Arabs in the diaspora as well.
How is Nougah different from other marriage apps? +
Most apps in this space are built for a different culture and adapted for Arabs. Nougah is built from the ground up for the MENA region — the values, the role of family, the seriousness of intention, and the privacy expectations are all designed into the product, not bolted on.
How much does Nougah cost? +
Nougah is free to download and use, with free likes every day. Coins are optional: they pay for extra likes, Stars, greetings and Boost. You can also earn free coins with the daily reward.
Is my data private? +
Yes. You can hide your location and when you were last active, and lock your gallery. You can block or report anyone, and blocking keeps your profile out of their Discover. Privacy is a foundational principle of how Nougah is built, not an afterthought.
Can I hide my photo until I match with someone? +
Yes. Lock your gallery and others see only a blurred first photo, while the rest of your gallery stays private. Everything clears automatically once you match.
