Jamalon
Jamalon (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.) was an online book retailer based in Amman that shipped to readers throughout the Middle East.[1] It was founded in October 2010 by entrepreneur Ala' Alsallal with the support of angel investor Fadi Ghandour.[2]
As of August 2017, it delivered over 12 million publications in Arabic and English.[3] In 2016, 80 percent of the company's sales consisted of Arabic titles.[4] It maintained partnerships with over 3,000 Arabic and 27,000 English-language publishers.[2] It was the largest online bookseller in the Middle East at the time.[5]
In May 2022, the company's website became unavailable and instead displayed a message declaring the company had ceased operations, citing issues with investment and profitability as of 2019. [6]
