Arabic speaking customers worldwide can now access a host of online functions and important hotel information through the new Arabic website from Marriott International.

The new portal allows Arab customers to search for hotel rooms and make a reservation in their mother tongue.

It also enables travellers to select arrival and departure dates, confirm their stays online and make any necessary changes to reservations.

Users can also access up-to-date information on Marriott International’s hotel portfolio of nearly 3,800 properties across all brands in 74 countries worldwide, including facts and figures on the destination and available offers – a useful tool for customers looking to research hotels before they book.

Alex Kyriakidis, president and managing director Marriott International Middle East & Africa, said: “At Marriott International we have a passion for ensuring that customers can plan and book the way they want.

“We continuously strive to provide our customers with the very best experience – from the search process, through to the booking and hotel experience itself.

“The launch of this Arabic language website makes it even more convenient and accessible for our Arabic speaking customers around the world, thereby encouraging more people to See the World,” added Kyriakidis.

Marriott Rewards members can also collect points for their stays via the new Arabic portal.
