THE MEANING OF ZAHARAÏ
It derives from the classical Arabic term Zahara (زَهَرَ), which means “to shine,” “to glow,” or “to bloom.” The suffix “-ï” adds an identity nuance, suggesting belonging or individuality. Together, Zaharaï refers to the act of manifesting one’s own light or inner potential.
She who shines,
She who blooms.
BORN FROM A DREAM
Note: this is a translated version of the original writing
My name is Alexa, and I was born in a very humble corner of Argentina, where scarcity was part of the landscape but not of the soul.
At the age of five, I had a vision of a place I had never seen before; warm, futuristic, and opulent. At that time, I was only surrounded by the marginal, but for some reason, that place felt familiar to me.
I started from zero, the youngest of ten siblings in a broken family, with no support and no clear path. Like the rest, I had two choices: accept what "was given" to me and end up where I began, or escape with faith and hope for a better future.
It wasn’t easy, but God was my beacon through every uncertain step.
At sixteen, I ran away from home with a backpack and tears on my face. Two years later, I decided to study psychology. After several specializations and years growing in my profession, I began traveling the world.
I discovered and enjoyed the sunrises of the countries that welcomed me until, after twelve countries... I arrived in Dubai.
That’s when I fully connected with the vision I had as a child: This is it!
I explored it with great excitement, and it was while walking barefoot on the sand of its magical desert that it happened again. It was another message I had never heard before, clear and precise: ZAHARAÏ.
I asked the guides, and I understood everything...
Zaharaï means “the one who blooms” or “the one who shines.” Dubai is the great city that rose from an arid desert, and I felt this was closely linked to my story and to that of many other women.
It is a clear symbol of creation, transformation, and faith in the vision—and Zaharaï is exactly that: blossoming. Becoming something new from what we are, without betraying our origins.
For this and much more, Zaharaï is for you.
For you, woman.
To remind you that you are powerful, even when you forget it.
To invite you to pause the world for a few minutes each day… and return to yourself.
Because true external change… begins from within.
Because what is guided by the soul has the power to transform everything.
Alexa.
