Dnata Travel and Souq.com, an award-winning online auction marketplace, have launched a travel auction for this Ramadan, in which air tickets to 10 global destinations – including London, Beirut and Mumbai – are up for grabs.

The tickets – prices of which start from Dh1 - will be auctioned off on Souq.com, and can be bid for by logging on to the webpage www.souq.com/dnata. The auctions run from September 3 to 24.

“This unique promotion brings the exciting world of auctions and eCommerce to the travel industry,” said Sameh Lutfi, sales & marketing manager of Souq.com.

“The idea behind the travel offer is to provide our users and UAE residents who plan on spending the Eid holidays in their native countries with a chance to do so at affordable prices.”

“As the UAE’s largest online marketplace, this is one of the fun ways that Souq.com uses to let everyone know that there is always something on Souq for everyone,” Lutfi added.

“The internet is becoming an increasingly important way for us to reach our customers. People in this region are just beginning to discover the benefits of online booking and at Dnata Travel we can now offer our customers the ease and convenience of a fully bookable and payable online system at www.dnatatravel.com,” said A Majid Al Mulla, VP, Dnata Travel.-TradeArabia News Service
