What Hoojoozat.com does

Hoojoozat.com is a Lebanon-based online travel booking platform founded in 2007 and operating as a subsidiary of Nakhal, a Lebanese travel and tourism group established in 1959. The platform serves individual consumers and travel agents across the Middle East, Gulf, and North Africa, offering hotel reservations (35,000+ properties worldwide), flights, holiday packages, tours, transfers, car rental, ferries, airport lounges, train tickets, cruises, and Schengen-approved travel insurance. The site supports Arabic, English, Turkish, and French, with a 24/7 call center reachable from Lebanon and the UAE via phone, WhatsApp, and live chat. The underlying technology is a web-based booking system with real-time availability, instant booking confirmation under a prepaid model, and a hotel-partner extranet for inventory and rate management.

The business operates two complementary go-to-market motions. The first is a direct-to-consumer website where travelers self-serve book and pay online, with revenue earned from transaction commissions on hotel and ancillary service bookings. The second is a B2B travel-agent portal offering free membership, sub-agent creation and tracking, account administration, reporting, and a loyalty program under which agents accumulate points redeemable for Costa Cruises. Revenue streams are primarily transaction-based (hotel commissions, service distribution) with an affiliate/referral component from agent-related services. Travel insurance is resold in partnership with Eurocross Assistance, which acts as underwriter and 24/7 claims handler.

The platform is differentiated less by technology than by regional positioning: a full Arabic-language interface, a long-standing Nakhal-group brand in the Lebanese and Arab travel trade, a prepaid model that removes hotel-side fraud risk, and a two-sided agent and consumer channel that reaches sub-segments underserved by global OTAs. No external venture or institutional funding is disclosed; ownership remains within the Nakhal group structure, and the company is privately held with 11–50 employees and headquarters in Beirut.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Expedia: Global online travel agency offering flights, hotels, car rental, cruises, and packages. Overlaps with Hoojoozat's full-spectrum offering and represents the broader competitive set the platform must differentiate against.
• Booking.com: Global incumbent OTA dominant in hotel inventory and increasingly aggressive in flights, attractions, and ground transport. Competes with Hoojoozat across the same accommodation product category worldwide, including in MENA markets where it is rapidly localizing.
• Agoda: Asia-headquartered OTA with strong hotel inventory across Asia-Pacific and growing presence in the Middle East. Directly comparable on hotel-led booking experiences targeting international travelers.

Direct peers

• Rehlat: Kuwait-headquartered OTA focused on flights, hotels, and travel deals for Arab travelers across the GCC. Competes directly for Arabic-first, MENA-outbound travelers with a similar product mix.
• Almosafer: Saudi-headquartered online travel agency serving Arabic-speaking travelers across the Gulf with flights, hotels, packages, and visa services. Almosafer is the closest direct regional peer given overlapping focus on Arabic-first booking, MENA outbound, and B2B travel agents.
• Tajawal: UAE-based online travel agency offering flights, hotels, holiday packages, and visa services with Arabic and English support. Competes directly for Arabic-speaking MENA customers and the leisure outbound segment.
• Wego: Singapore-based meta-search and OTA platform widely used by Middle East travelers to compare flights and hotels. Wego competes head-to-head for Arabic-speaking outbound demand and offers a comparable multi-product booking experience.
• Musafir: UAE-based online travel agency offering flights, hotels, holiday packages, and visa services across the Middle East. Operates a similar Arabic-language, MENA-focused B2C and B2B travel agent model to Hoojoozat.
• Mawasem Direct / Nakhal Travel: Long-standing Lebanese travel agency and tour operator. As the parent of Hoojoozat.com, Nakhal represents the offline tour-operator counterpart and the legacy brand from which the digital platform extends its multi-product travel offerings.

Emerging players

• Cleartrip: India-focused OTA offering flights, hotels, and packages with strong regional brand loyalty. Comparable as a mid-sized, non-Western OTA emulating the same multi-product, mobile-first playbook that regional challengers like Hoojoozat pursue.
