Kanoo Travel

Kanoo Travel is a travel company that serves the Gulf region. It is part of the YBA Kanoo group, a family owned conglomerate founded in 1890. The site says Kanoo Travel was launched in the late 1930s, alongside the rise of aviation in Bahrain.

The company says it was the first IATA accredited agency in the Gulf. It offers flights, hotels, holiday packages, tours, Umrah trips and transfers. Its work covers corporate travel, leisure travel and specialist areas such as marine travel and MICE events.

In 2003, Kanoo Travel launched a 24 hour call center for the Gulf travel market. The service gives emergency travel help, flight information, hotel bookings and event management. It now offers service modules for large corporate clients.

The parent group has a presence in more than 22 countries and more than 3,000 employees. Its business areas include shipping, logistics, energy, industrial services, real estate and investments.

The website shows holiday packages to places such as Dubai, Istanbul, the Maldives, Bali, Santorini, Mykonos, New York and Washington DC. Prices are shown in Saudi riyals (SAR). The site also lists weekend getaways and Saudi National Day packages.

Visitors can sign up on the site, send an inquiry, and call the company's contact numbers in the UAE, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain. The site has FAQs, terms and conditions, a privacy policy and a blog.

The site also has a partners page, a locations page and a Trip Style section for different kinds of travel.
