My name is Saeid, Nahel.com's MD.. Please send me an email to &lt;a href="mailto:saeid.hejazi@nahel.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;saeid.hejazi@nahel.com&lt;/a&gt; so we could discuss your affiliate network. Thanks and take care. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;@nadersoliman, our sales volume for the UAE alone will be sufficient to sustain ourselves, but of course we have plans to have a regional presence. What are the online retailers you mentioned? Please let me know at &lt;a href="mailto:saeid.hejazi@nahel.com" rel="nofollow"&gt;saeid.hejazi@nahel.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Thanks guys, take care!</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">saeidhejazi</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 08 Oct 2009 04:44:31 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Nakhweh, A Volunteer Matching Portal For Jordan</title><link>http://www.startuparabia.com/2009/10/nakhweh-a-volunteer-matching-portal-for-jordan/#comment-18932810</link><description>Nakhweh is a "borrowed" idea!
