Easy Taxi Facilitates Commuting in The Middle East’s Most Bustling Cities

Mobilk - Recently, the Middle East region has become a bustling hub, attracting many travellers from all over the world. With its variety of cultures, demographics, and abundance of rich resources, people hail from around the world to explore the region’s trade, sports, shopping malls, nature, and great weather. As with many other cities, the influx of tourists during the high season often times result in a much higher volume of traffic. Visitors may struggle to find an easy and spontaneous way to commute between places, without having to spend money on expensive car rentals.

Easy Taxi, the global taxi e-hailing app, facilitates the process of commuting by simplifying the ordering of a taxi within these bustling cities. Here are some of the region’s most popular countries and why they have recently attracted countless visitors from around the world:

Saudi Arabia - The Hajj Season

Once a year, Hajj (the muslim pilgrimage) attracts around 3 million people from all over the the world. Hotels are always fully booked and the cities are overcrowded with worshippers visiting to take part in the pilgrimage. During this time, most of the action takes place in Mekkah, however, Jeddah and Riyadh also witness an influx of visitors during this time, as  many visitors usually extend their stay to explore more of the area at the same time.

Kuwait - Hala February

Taking place at the beginning of the year, Hala February is an annual festival which is comprised of several carnivals, music concerts, cultural seminars, sporting events, and daily raffles. Shops and malls welcome visitors during this month by offering countless discounts and promoting the festive month. Some 80,000 tourists visit Kuwait during this time. Most visitors travel from neighbouring countries such as Saudi Arabia, Qatar, or Bahrain to experience the wonders of Hala February.

Jordan - Summer Holidays

Jordan is perhaps one of the most visited countries in the Middle East. It is home to the ancient City of Petra, which has been featured in many hollywood films, including Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Lawrence of Arabia and more recently, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen. The capital Amman is known for being a tech hub and hosts a number of forums and conferences that contribute to the popularity of the city during certain times of the year.

Qatar - The Business Hub

With its continuous plans to become the Gulf’s most fruitful business hub, Qatar has seen great growth in recent times. Qatar currently ranks number 16 on the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) Global Competitiveness Index 2014, and is one of the richest countries in the world. The country’s immense wealth is reflected in its capital: Doha. Tourism in Doha is turning into a lucrative and major industry, with the recent development of a wide range of hotels, including numerous luxury properties, huge shopping complexes, and several entertainment venues. Additionally, Doha being located on the Persian Gulf, also has a number of breathtaking beaches, thereby making it the ideal travel destination for anyone.
