# Nougah

> Nougah (Arabic: نوغة) is a serious matchmaking app for Arabs and Muslims seeking marriage. It is a halal, marriage-minded platform built specifically for the MENA region — not a dating app. Available on iOS and Android.

Nougah was built because the Arab world has 500 million people and zero matchmaking platforms genuinely built for their culture, values, pace, and intention. Existing dating apps were designed to maximize engagement, not to help users find a life partner. Nougah's stated goal is the opposite: its AI succeeds when users find their person and close the app for good.
