Regional quick-commerce platform Careem has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Saudi Tourism Authority (STA) to explore opportunities for collaboration that can boost the overall tourism experience.
General manager of individual transportation services at Careem in Saudi Arabia, Ahmed Orabi, said: “We are delighted to establish this valuable partnership with STA, with the goal of utilising Careem’s advanced technologies, extensive audience and wide customer base to offer effortless services and attractive deals that improve the general experience of visitors coming from the GCC and the Middle East.
“We have rolled out our first batch of offerings under the MoU targeting visitors to Saudi Arabia, featuring exclusive deals of flights from international airports in the Middle East.
