Platform has single-handedly built the e-ticketing industry in the country

Pakistani startup Bookme has signed landmark deals to enter the Riyadh Saudi market.
Bookme, the renowned Pakistani travel technology platform, has signed two landmark agreements to expand its network into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA).

Bookme has been in the industry for 11 years and has changed the ticketing scene in Pakistan.

First, Bookme has signed an agreement with Mrsool, a homegrown Saudi delivery platform operating in Saudi Arabia and Egypt. With a customer base of over eight million, Mrsool has become the leading on-demand delivery app in the region.

Founded in 2016 by Ayman Alsanad (CEO) and Naif Alsimri (CMO), today Mrsool has over 450 FTEs in Riyadh and Cairo with a very attractive business model thanks to its diversified revenue streams from butler services, food and beverage (F&B), groceries & Pharma, fast trading and digital products.
The signing ceremony took place at the Pakistani Embassy in Riyadh.

Faizan Aslam, the founder and CEO, and Muhammad T Ali, the COO, attended the ceremony from Bookme. Ayman AlSanad the CEO, Naif Alsimri the CMO along with Hammad Raza CFO and Abdullah Haboudal CSO were also present on the occasion.

Another agreement of great significance took place on the sidelines of the Arabian Travel Market Expo 2024.

Bookme has been selected by the Saudi Ministry of Tourism as the official and exclusive OTA partner for Pakistan. This partnership will see travel between Saudi Arabia and Pakistan fully digitized in the coming years.

The Saudi Ministry of Tourism, represented by Meeshal Qureshi and Anas Jamaladeen, attended the event. They indicated that Bookme, with its large user base and extensive experience in digital travel bookings in Pakistan, can play a crucial role in taking KSA to the next level, an attractive tourist spot that has a lot to offer besides religious travel.
