This collaboration falls within the scope of Amakin’s strategy to expand its digital partnerships across the region.

The agreement will enable Amakin to exchange knowledge and benefit from parking innovations developed by PASS. As a result of this collaboration, PASS customers will have access to all Amakin locations, beginning with the Terminal in Adliya, utilizing the PASS mobile application to manage their parking and make payments in a seamless digital experience.

The inclusion of this service intends to extend Amakin’s service portfolio, expand its user-friendly approach, and provide the local community with cutting-edge solutions within parking structures.

Tariq Al-Jowder, Chief Executive Officer for Amakin commented, “By establishing digital partnerships with leading ecosystem players, Amakin strives to meet its customers’ expectations and objectives by delivering the most innovative services and up to date technology tied with our ambition to deliver an absolute parking experience.
