Our Story

A Passion That Became a Purpose

ReefLife started with two reef keepers, a shared love for
the ocean, and a belief that corals deserve a better future.
Lara Nabeel Ailabouni

Founder

“Ocean lover. Coral advocate. UAE-based founder driven by the beauty and responsibility of reef life.”

Rabih Bassam El Zein

Co-Founder

“A Scuba Diver & a Reefer for over 15 years. Builder of 17+ aquariums. Obsessed with recreating pieces of the ocean, one tank at a time.”

From home tanks to large-scale systems, from curiosity to responsibility their journey grew into a shared vision: ReefLife Aqua.
Today, ReefLife Aqua has evolved into a fully integrated ecosystem dedicated to sustainably growing corals, connecting reefers around
the world, and inspiring future generations through education, innovation, and a deep love for the ocean.

The Ecosystem

One Vision. Three Connected Pillars

ReefLife Aqua is more than a coral farm, a mobile app, or an institute.
It is a connected ecosystem built to support reef life through sustainable aquaculture, global community, and meaningful education.
By bringing together coral farming, digital connectivity, and real-world learning experiences, ReefLife Aqua aims to inspire a
deeper relationship between people and the underwater world.
