Dubizzle is now OLX, except in the UAE

Dubizzle has rebranded itself as OLX across 10 markets, except in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Users in Egypt, Algeria, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Jordan, Kuwait Oman, Qatar and Tunisia who click on dubizzle.com will now be redirected to the local OLX website.

According to the company, the popularity of its brand name within the UAE is what has prevented the company from rebranding itself here.

“The UAE market will remain as Dubizzle, the brand and product will remain unchanged. This decision was made after a serious consideration for what is best for the business,” the company said in a statement.

Dubizzle has also introduced a new app called 'OLX Arabia' which will be available for download.

According to it Dubizzle has been part of the OLX family and has been sharing the same values since 2013. With this change it has fully become part of OLX.

"We've only changed the name from Dubizzle to OLX - everything else remains the same," said Abdallah Touqan, Senior PR and Communications Lead at OLX.

According to the statement the combined OLX and Dubizzle network reaches over 240 million monthly active users and generates over 17 billion page views per month.
