Etisalat launches Eniro’s search engine in the United Arab Emirates


Etisalat Information Services launch the first fully-digital search service in
the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The launch marks an agreement between the
company and Eniro. The service will initially cover the UAE, with the intention
to introduce the service in other markets.
Through the search engine can Etisalats users among other things search for
name, location, shopping, travel and hotel bookings, maps, location services and
directions to the search results. The service is available online in both
English and Arabic languages. It’s available through online as well as mobile
app offerings for iOS and Android. It also has a responsive design which gives
the same impression whether it is a computer, tablet or mobile.

“We searched for the best partner to develop a unique local search engine as a
complement to our telecom business,” comments Rashid Khusaif Al Naqbi, General
Manager, Etisalat Information Services. “We are looking forward to a successful
launch in our home market, with a view to subsequently launching services in our
other markets.”

“We have worked closely together with Etisalat in adapting our local search
platform to the market in United Arab Emirates,“ comments Stefan Kercza, CEO and
President of Eniro Group. “By investing in our search platform, they can also
take advantage of new features that are introduced. It’s in accordance with our
strategy to strengthen the position in local search.”
