This document introduces Maktabi, an online marketplace that allows users to easily find, compare, and book shared workspaces like co-working spaces, desks, and hotels throughout the Middle East and North Africa region. It notes the growing number of freelancers and need for flexible workspaces in MENA cities. Maktabi aims to be the "Airbnb for desks" by connecting workspace providers with customers online. The startup is focused initially on Cairo and Dubai and plans to launch in December, raising $100k for the first six months of operations.
