Our story
From one word, “dallini”…
From one word, “dallini”…
to a whole app
In Qatar, when we're unsure we don't open a search engine — we ask the people who know: “dallouni”, show me the way. We took that old habit and built an app on it: you ask in your own words, and the whole market shows you the way.
A Gulf where shopping starts with a question… not a search bar.
The journey
Building deep… before making noise
2025
Founded
Dalni was founded as a Qatari company in Doha (CR 244467, licence 333305), and work began on one clear idea: a market that speaks Arabic and meets face to face.
2026
Building
More than 60 screens on the “Doha Nights” design system, six main sections (chat, store, map, community, cart, account), and a full loyalty programme — guarded by more than 950 automated tests before every update.

Our values
Three promises… we keep
Local first
A home kitchen in Al Wakrah stands next to the biggest store in the mall — same shelf, same light, same chance to sell. Productive families get their own badge and tier.
Arabic first
Arabic here isn't a translation layer over a foreign product — the assistant understands the dialect as spoken, and the design was born right-to-left. English rides along fully supported.
Privacy as a luxury standard
Your conversations are yours — never sold, never shown to anyone. We sell products, not user profiles. Read a privacy policy written to actually be read.
A small team… with big ambition
Dalni is built in Doha by a small team that loves the souq as much as the tech. No open roles right now — but if what we're building excites you, we'd love to hear from you.

Approved boilerplate: Dalni (Arabic for “show me the way”) is a Qatari app: an assistant that understands how you actually talk and knows Qatar's shops and home businesses, points you to the nearest and cheapest, and lets you close the deal face to face — with a live map, a community and a loyalty programme in one Arabic-first experience. Dalni does not deliver itself: payment is cash on meetup, or at the door where the seller or their courier delivers. A Qatari company based in Doha — CR 244467 · trade licence 333305.
