Dubai, May 6, 2010

Yahoo! Middle East has opened its new offices in Dubai and Amman, which will strengthen the position of Yahoo! and its growth across the Middle East.

The offices both offer a spacious and fun environment providing staff with many additional amenities including table tennis, Wii, a café with TV and Sat connection, as well as refreshment machines and kitchen facilities, a statement said.

“I am very proud to be apart of the Yahoo! organization and delighted to be able to open these two offices in this strategically important region, following our acquisition of Maktoob.com,” said Rich Riley, senior vice president & managing director, Yahoo! in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA), who travelled to the region to host the inauguration of both sites.

“These are really exciting times for Yahoo! Middle East, particularly as we have many important developments coming up this year, and now we have a strong team on the ground we will really be able to immerse the brand into the region as we announce the new brand identity and website,” he added.

“The fun office environment provides a great working zone to stimulate our staff and will help us to ensure we provide the best possible products for our customers,” he added.
