Have you ever dreamed of a trip to Korea where you don't need to worry about the language, a tour guide, halal food, or finding the best places and best prices? Now it's easier than before for Arabic speakers who dream of travelling to Korea.
Yalla Korea is a Korea-based travel agency founded by two young innovative Koreans who are engaged and involved with Arab-speaking countries and the Middle East in general through their studies and interest in the region. The staff there have had great experiences travelling across the Arab world, to places like the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Kuwait and Egypt.
Park Sangwon, or "Khalid," is the CEO and the person in charge of managing the overall processes of the business. He chose to have this job to thank all his Arab friends who gave him great company and widened his understanding about the Middle East. Moreover, he wants to give a great impression to all Arab travelers who have a passion for Korea. The second-in-command at Yalla Korea is Im Sang Ok, or "Madiha," the marketing director who works also as a guide for Arab tourists in Korea. She majored in Arabic language at university and has been certificated as an official guide to Korea in the Arabic language.

The services offered by Yalla Korea comprise a whole package and reflect the four main goals of the company: share, passion, truth and safety. The services start from the moment you arrive at the airport, through your journey to Korea’s fascinating attractions, and until the day you finish your trip. Throughout the whole journey, you get to enjoy some of the most famous places and meals, and you can get the answers you need to all your questions, related to any kind of interest about Korea. You also get to know Khalid and Madiha and form new friendships in Korea. Tourists from places like the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Jordan and other countries can now make unforgettable memories with Yalla Korea.
Yalla Korea makes it even easier with the schedule it makes with the traveler from the moment they decide on a trip to Korea. They have an official website that provides all information you need, as well as social media accounts on YouTube, Twitter, Instagram and Snapchat.
Yalla Korea might be a small humble step toward building a greater bridge between Arabs and Koreans. At the least, it will leave a great impression about strengthening the ties between the two regions and countries, and bringing them closer together.
