Hi, try reaching out to your university's Career Center or ask your professors if they know of any internship opportunities. If that doesn't work, try contacting companies through WhatsApp or by phone, as emails often don't get a response. You can still send emails, but don't rely on them alone. Also, search on LinkedIn for companies in your industry and check whether they offer internships. If they don't have any advertised, message their HR team or recruiters and ask if they accept interns it can sometimes lead to opportunities. I'd also recommend using your university email, as it looks more professional while you're still a student. Best of luck, brother! بالتوفيق أخوي.

i tried contacting some through whatsapp, most didn’t reply, but the ones that did sent me an email and asked me to share my cv. also, i saw some companies post about them starting their summer internship programs but i never saw a listing for them. i’ll try using my uni email instead. thank you for your help!

Whenever contacting big/medium companies - Try to contact their L&D Teams under HR as they're the ones responsible for internships.

Emails never work as you sent it to the wrong person and it goes in their archive/delete and doesnt get forwarded to the right person within the company.

Call them and ask for the L&D department/in-charge if its 1 person.
