Welcome to your very own online market Haabta! Marhaba!
As an online marketplace founded in Oman, our online platform is inspired by an Omani tradition that is a much-loved part of the cultural fabric of the country. A Haabta is traditionally an open-air market organised in communities across the country during the three days before Eid Al Fitr and Eid Al Adha.
Mobile phones, cars, laptops, home appliances…whatever you’re looking for, Haabta is your home for all things you want to buy or sell.
Whether you’ve got a nephew who loves taking videos and has been eyeing that amazing camera for some time now, or a daughter to whom you’ve wanted to gift that brand new mobile phone on her birthday, or indeed a new set of wheels for you, Haabta is the place to be.
Designed to be a one-stop shop for customers and vendors to connect, Haabta encourages buyers to directly contact buyers, should they wish to find out further about the products they’re interested in, and organise payment, either through cash or credit card, ensuring fair transactions for all parties involved. We take no commission from sellers!
That’s right: we receive the payment on behalf of the seller, if they want to use Haabta gateway as a payment option and transfer the exact amount to them! To ensure quick and smooth transactions, sellers can also send to buyers a WhatsApp link we provide to them to access our online payment gateway.
