Marhaba e-Guides Pledge

At Marhaba Information Guide, we are always trying to as sustainable as possible. To do so we have created an electronic version of our printed book so that people could learn all about Qatar online. We found that while the book is good to bookmark and flip through for information, we also wanted to create something more bitesized that we could use to show people exactly what is in our book. So, we created our e-Guides.

We offer an unrivalled range of diverse eco-friendly and compostable, biodegradable, recyclable products sourced from ethical and sustainable sources.
