For MENA travel businesses

Arabic travel system
One booking platform built for Arabic-speaking markets
A translated template is not an Arabic booking site. Layouts must mirror, hotel names and policies need Arabic content, prices must carry VAT and customers expect to pay in riyals or dirhams through gateways they know. PHPTRAVELS handles all of it in one installation, with Arabic and English side by side for your B2C site, B2B agents and corporate clients.
