84% of the businesses have a phone number, 55% a website, 31% social media and 75% published opening hours. E-mails come from the businesses' own websites (29%). Every row has an address and coordinates. 115,455 numbers are mobile.
XLSX and CSV (UTF-8), one row per business: name, sector, category and other categories, chain, emirate, country, city, postcode, address, coordinates, phones, website, e-mail, social media, published opening hours and the date the business was added to the base. The files appear in your account right after payment.
Yes. In the configurator tick the sectors you need — Food & Drink, Retail & Shopping, Health & Medical and 14 more — and the number and the price update. You can also keep only chain locations or only independent businesses; a single category is bought from its page — for the whole country, an emirate or a city.
With every update new businesses are added and those that the source marks as closed are removed.
