How we rank

Independent by design

No business can pay to move up a list. Placement is earned from public ratings, and the few paid slots are always labelled.

Weighted by volume

A 9.8 from three reviews does not outrank a 9.4 from three thousand. Scores are shrunk toward the average until the review count earns them.

Sourced, not scored by us

Ratings and review counts are shown exactly as their source publishes them, with the source named and the date they were last refreshed.

English and Arabic

Names, addresses and categories are carried in both languages, so the guide works for the people who live here.
