If you’ve never visited Saudi Arabia physically, it’s hard to really appreciate its splendor. Its spirit is found in the rich diversity that emerges from this hub of many human civilizations. From exploring 10,000-year-old ancient sites to climbing the tallest peak in the world at 3000 meters above sea level, deep diving into the reefs and marine life of the Red Sea, and crossing the world’s largest palm oasis, there is a lot to do. There are also international events happening in prominent Saudi cities. The charm of Saudi Arabia’s generosity, the delectable esoteric cuisines, and last but not least, the enchanting world of scents – there is a lot to discover.
While it’s all there to explore, how would it feel to have a single platform where you could visualize it all? A Super-app that, broadly speaking, can function as a holistic hand guide for travelers and keeps them updated with its happenings. Enter Wafy, Saudi Arabia’s leading discovery platform.

THE MAN WHO REDEFINED VISUALIZATION OF SAUDI
A creative mind and a disciplined eye can morph an idea into something propelling. Wafy was born from the innovative mind of Mohammed Abbas (CEO). He is a decorated entrepreneur with a record of establishing multiple companies, thus earning a global reputation. He has also founded GT Medical, an innovative healthcare firm in Saudi Arabia. For the past 10 years, he has been instrumental in generating 100% growth year-over-year across multiple sectors in the country. Forbes recently named him one of the “10 inspiring businesspeople to watch in the Middle East”.
Abbas founded Wafy in 2016 with a vision to create an interactive guide for people to engage with culture, sports, and entertainment in the kingdom. Given the increasing influence and use of apps, it wasn’t long before it came under the global spotlight. Since then, the platform has been a preferred platform for a world-class experience. Wafy is ambitiously stretching its presence around the world, serving users around the globe, and not only in Saudi Arabia.

ESTABLISHING A SOLID GLOBAL PRESENCE
Launched and driven by a strong purpose, Wafy is constantly expanding its geographic reach. With new languages installed, the platform plans to reach 63 percent of the global
population. Given that it generated 1.5 million with only English and Arabic as the primary languages, this target shows huge potential. Over the last 6 years, the platform pushed its limits across various aspects of growth. Continuing that, it will expand and set foot in new territories soon.
