Majd Shaker Jaha, a Saudi designer, has created a new series of creative designs for Amazon, for Eid Al-Fitr. Amazon.ae customers in the UAE will now gift limited edition Eid-themed electronic Amazon.ae Gift Cards to their loved ones.

The vibrant designs depict the magic of this special moment of the year and allow people to give traditional ‘Eideyyah' (traditional Eid gifting) to friends and families through Amazon.ae.

“We are thrilled to introduce consumers a new Eid gifting experience that provides a modern way to spread the excitement of this special day with loved ones while catching the spirit of valued local traditions,” said Ronaldo Mouchawar, Vice President of Amazon Middle East and North Africa (MENA). Our partnership with Majd is a first of its kind in the Middle East and for Amazon.ae, but it is also part of our contribution to promoting the region's best homegrown creativity and showcasing the region's rich cultural heritage.”

The young artist and Arabic calligrapher behind the design started drawing at a young age and have effectively transformed her talent into a career with the launch of her website, MJD Studio. Jaha has since written two tutorials on watercolor methods, titled "How to Paint using Watercolors" and "How to Draw Flowers."

Her Amazon.ae Gift Card designs were influenced by the hieroglyphs and ornaments seen on Khaliji (Gulf) clothing, and typically celebrated objects found in the city. The sketches were made especially for Amazon in time for Eid, to embody the festive holiday spirit.

“I'm very happy for this partnership and would want to thank Amazon for the chance to get my artwork used to portray this beautiful occasion, which spreads joy to many people,” Jaha said of the collaboration. I trust that my drawings will encourage aspiring artists not just in GCC, but across the world.”

The new Eid-themed eGift Cards can be bought from Amazon's The Gift Cards Store. ae are only a few of the many designs available, all of which can be customized.

The Amazon.ae Gift Card, which is available in increments of up to Dhs6000, can be exchanged by running the code at checkout or by attaching the balance directly to your Amazon.ae account.

With its typical mud-brick buildings, palm trees, flowers, and Arabic coffee drawings, the traditional architecture is vibrant, character- and calligraphy-based, and reflects the country's glorious history. It incorporates all people enjoy about Eid celebrations, from new clothes and treats baskets to fireworks and so much more. Jaha is a 22-year-old Saudi artist and Arabic calligrapher who began drawing at a young age. She studied drawing and architecture before earning a bachelor's degree and a Major in public administration. She too has qualified in the investment sector, which enables her to become a teacher on educational forums both within and outside of Saudi Arabia.

She is passionate about the plastic arts and design, and enjoys mixing the two. She is a watercolor enthusiast who feels that one is born to be imaginative. As a teacher and content writer, she believes if students begin working at an early age they would be able to build their career more comfortably and quickly while increasing their income and establishing healthy social relationships. She stated in an interview with a regional newspaper that she tries to strike a balance between conventional facets of Saudi culture and her taste.

“I derive inspiration from culturally meaningful and recognizable styles, such as the designs on traditional Saudi cooking utensils or garments like Shalky and Sadu, and experiment with them. Perhaps I'll switch the colors, however, I still want to maintain the design's integrity,” she said. Shalky fabric was once one of the most common fabrics among women. It has beautiful, vibrant colors.

Al Sadu is an ancient tribal weaving technique that artistically depicts the culture and heritage of Arabian nomadic peoples.

Traditional tribal lives, the desert landscape, and the weavers' artistic self-expression are reflected in the woven geometric and metaphorical designs and emblems. MJD Studio is an art and architecture studio in Dubai and Saudi Arabia, and the forum provides training. It offers various professional resources to enriching artistic content and providing innovative goods.
