The heart of Little Arabia, open for business
Founded in Dearborn in 1992, the American Arab Chamber of Commerce was born here in the heart of the largest, most established Arab American community in the country. This is our home and headquarters.
Anaheim is home to Little Arabia, the first officially recognized Arab American district in the United States. Our office connects Orange County's Arab American businesses to a national network of 1,800+ and to the Arab world.
Anaheim
Along Brookhurst Street, Little Arabia's restaurants, bakeries, groceries, and shops have made Anaheim the cultural heart of Arab American life in the West, and in August 2022 the city made it official, the first recognized Arab American district in the country. California is home to more Arab Americans than any other state. From this office we turn that vibrant community into commercial connection: capital, customers, partners, and a national platform.
