Swvl Holdings Corp (SWVL) reported that it has launched a 24/7 shuttle service in Madinah, Saudi Arabia, connecting seven hotels to Al-Masjid an-Nabawi and other key city sites. This marks Swvl’s entry into Madinah and extends its focus on the hospitality and pilgrimage transport segment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), described as one of its strategic growth markets.
Under an agreement with its client, Swvl will operate a dedicated shuttle network using its technology platform for fixed route planning, real-time dispatching, and operational optimization, aiming to provide continuous access for hotel guests.

Management links this launch to a broader strategy of expanding deeper into current operating markets and references earlier contract wins in KSA, including work with Bank Albilad, as evidence of demand for technology-enabled transportation across both enterprise and consumer-facing sectors.
