Your Story, Your Culture, Told RighT
Preserve Your Story with Authentic Biographies
At Zikra, we specialise in preserving Middle Eastern histories with the professionalism and discretion you deserve. Whether it’s through a beautifully crafted book, an immersive film, or a personal website, we ensure your legacy is captured with authenticity, care, and cultural sensitivity.
Protecting the Stories That Shape Us
In today’s fast-paced world, the stories that once united us are fading.
With modern life pulling us in different directions, families gather less often, and the distance weakens our ties. The memories of our elders—their childhoods, achievements, and sense of belonging—are at risk of being lost.
Zikra was created to protect these precious stories. We specialise in capturing the legacies of individuals, families, businesses, and institutions from the Middle East or those connected to the region, ensuring their histories are preserved and their achievements celebrated. By honouring their lives and contributions, we help families and organisations reconnect and strengthen bonds that might otherwise fade over time, all with the utmost care, authenticity, and cultural sensitivity.

What our clients say
My Dad was going through a difficult period of desperation and loneliness after my mother passed away. Waking up in the morning and facing a new day was hard. Zikra helped him look forward; he enjoyed sitting and talking about his childhood, his struggles and successes in the field work, and mostly talking about my mother.
Zikra helped us preserve my grandfather’s incredible life story. The biography they created is a treasure that our family will cherish for generations.
When my father was 82, his memory began to deteriorate. Zikra seemed like a good idea, before he lost his memory completely. The kindly and sympathetic team helped trigger his memories and helped him recall many forgotten incidents and events. Other stories were provided by his cousin, who lives in Canada, and my mother, who helped with the parts their early life together. The resulting book will preserve and keep the family history alive for the coming generations.
My whole family has read the book about my grandfather, and we feel that we know him so much better.
The documentary film Zikra produced about our family business was both professional and deeply moving. It captured the essence of our journey perfectly.
My life was not a journey of roses and honey. I always tried to hide the difficulties of bringing up 3 children on my own. Losing my life partner at a young age was not easy. To have the opportunity to tell my story to my family and close friends was such an emotional and mental relief. I hope my children and grandchildren will learn a lesson from my hard times. This was an unforgettable process.
My uncle was simply blown away by the Zikra book and film. It was the best present we could possibly have given him. Every aspect of production is totally professional.
When my children announced to me on Mother's day that I will be interviewed to have my life story written in a book, I hesitated and felt it might be too difficult. Now after experiencing the time I spent talking to May, the patient lady interviewer, I say sincerely it was the best present I was ever given. I am so happy I am able to share my stories with my grandchildren.
Zikra were recommended by a friend, and they certainly lived up to their reputation! My family loves both the book and the film!
Thanks to Zikra, my children now have a tangible connection to their roots. The audiobook of my mother’s memoir is a beautiful keepsake.
When my 76 year-old aunt retired and started spending a lot of time at home, she was sad and lonely. She felt unneeded and useless. We knew that she had so many lessons to teach, so much advice to pass on. We contacted Zikra. It was a great experience, she felt valued and appreciated. We could see her lively character emerge again. And we all love the book she wrote.
