      yeah, shda3wa ako a7ad ma ya3arif il marai? I can talk about Kuwait and Saudi, where its really big. I would guess its as big in the rest of the gulf, bas in the rest of the arab world i dont know if their products reach them or if they are big there. I was suprised too why its at number 3, its big, but I didnt think its that big.

      almarai milk is truely the best milk in the world no preservatives unlike the any kind of milk uprobably will get in the us

      our house here in dubai was built in emaar
      i would think emirates airlines is bigger than aljazeera i think its top because of binladens support(jokin)
      KDD’s haleeb kakkow 3ajeeb
      mecca cola is really cool the only thing i dont like about it is throwing away the name of a holy city in the garbage but anyways we recycle almost everything alhamdulliah

      altazij is good
      but when i went to saudi for umra i remeber this restraunt thats much better anyone that lived in saudi knows it and its name is

      Delicately Realistic,
      kdd bas fale7 bil 3a9eer oo il 7aleeb kakaw, 7aleeb mooz, oo farawala :P

      tarek bin ziad,
      yeah same here i would have thought that emirates would have been bigger than aljazeera, but as a name aljazeera is bigger, even in a global scale, all for the wrong reasons of course, but nonetheless bigger

      u had to remind me of albeik!!!!!!!!

    7. Gravatar Icon 7 Twix Oct 22nd, 2006 at 11:43 am

      Yeeah.. !! Al-Jazeera number one.

      Most brands seems to be coming from the UAE.

      Kewl, thanx for the info.

      albeik my dad might open a branch here in dubai i wonder if it would be a big of a secess like the branches in saudi

    9. Gravatar Icon 9 Yazeed Oct 23rd, 2006 at 12:42 am

      ur talking about albeik?
      albaik hasnt even open outside of mecca, jeddah, and i think medina, i dont think the owner is looking to franchise the resturant, he has enough money to open it wherever he wants :P
      it would be a huge hit in america though!

      i thought i was reading it wrong Al mara’e .. Al marai sounded funny at first

      Last ramadan I swore to try Mecca Cola but wherever I went asking about it there wasn’t any so one of the last few days of ramadan I was playing football at Khei6an and there was this grocery store with a big Mecca Cola ad. so I went there and he actually had loads of Mecca Cola boxes and after I tried it I admit, it tastes so BAD! lol.
