From city-based chat spaces to connect locally and globally, to workshops and exclusive events like creative retreats and curated gatherings, Shams Club is packed with offerings that elevate creativity. It’s where members can meet game-changers, learn from industry leaders, and build meaningful collaborations.

Kicking off with launch events in Dubai (November 30), London (December 11), and Amman (December 20), Shams Club is set to bring its mission to life with unforgettable nights of music, community, and inspiration. The initiative is powered by Between East (Los Angeles) and Waastaa (Middle East), co-founded by Lena Khouri and Yasmine Rasool, who are uniting East and West through a shared vision of cultural innovation.

What’s more, Shams Club is giving back, donating 15% of its first three months' net proceeds to HEAL Palestine and the Lebanese Red Cross, blending creative empowerment with real-world impact.
