Hobber opens early partner onboarding in November

Hobber, the global discovery super platform for entertainment, recreation, dining and tourism, opens early partner onboarding in the UAE this November.

Early onboarding is for the businesses that make a city worth exploring: restaurants and cafes, experience and activity operators, tour operators, hotels, event organisers, car rental companies, and spas and wellness studios. Malls, venues and destinations that host other businesses can join as a hub.

Partners first, then the public

Hobber is launching supply first. The coming months are dedicated to bringing the best businesses in the UAE onto the platform, so that when the Hobber app opens to the public, the city is already there. Early partners are listed, live and ready to take bookings from day one.

“A discovery platform is only as good as what you can discover on it,” said Allaith Safia, Co-founder and CEO of Hobber. “So we are starting with the businesses. The day the app opens, the best of the city will already be on it.”

What partners get

Hobber is built around how businesses actually sell. Six booking models share one checkout: time slot sessions, walk in passes, day bookings, seat plans for events, nightly stays and guided tours with pickup zones. Every booking is prepaid at the moment it is made, so a no show never costs the sale. Guests check in with a QR code scanned on a phone, with no special hardware, and prices, schedules and capacity are managed from one dashboard.

Listing is free, with no monthly fee. Partners pay only when they get a booking.

Discovery that brings customers to you

People on Hobber browse by what they feel like doing, not by business name, and Hobber AI builds whole day plans around them from what is bookable. Bookings feed bookings: a hotel stay or a tour nearby sends guests straight to the restaurant and the experience next door.

How to join

Sign up opens shortly at hobber.ai/partners. Most listings are ready the same day and go live once they pass review.
