It took Samih Toukan almost a decade to turn Maktoob, the internet company he founded with partner Hussam Khoury, into an Arab internet giant. But less than three years after the $164m sale of the company to Yahoo!, Mr Toukan thinks he has built something even bigger.
The speed at which Jabbar, his new group of internet businesses, has grown says much about the rapid expansion of the Middle East’s web industry. And it also speaks to the abilities of Mr Toukan who, at 43, is by a large margin the Middle East’s most successful online entrepreneur.
