Across 23 recent entries for Makkah (city listings include Jeddah and Mecca, both in the Makkah region), the only disclosed round above the rest appears at Areeb Capital’s $1.5B on 2025-05-11; the next-highest disclosed amounts cluster far below it, including $8M (WheeKeep, 2024-05-12) and $7M rounds (Aanaab, 2024-12-01; Quantum Platform, 2024-10-02). The data also shows a tight temporal cluster: multiple rounds land on 2025-07-08 (MoneyLoop, Resal, Sidra Capital), and the majority of disclosed activity sits between 2024-10-02 and 2024-12-01.

Sector-wise, Food and Beverage and Commerce and Shopping each recur at least three times across the window, with Jeddah dominating the geography (21 entries list Jeddah; 2 list Mecca).

Frequently asked
What outlier stands out in disclosed funding, and how different is it from the rest?
Areeb Capital’s $1.5B on 2025-05-11 is the clear outlier: it is the only disclosed round above the rest, while the next-largest disclosed amounts in the table are $8M (WheeKeep, 2024-05-12) and $7M (Aanaab, 2024-12-01; Quantum Platform, 2024-10-02).
Is funding concentrated in a narrow date window, or spread out across years?
It’s concentrated toward the most recent period: three entries share 2025-07-08 (MoneyLoop, Resal, Sidra Capital), and there are multiple 2024-12-01 closings (Aanaab at $7M; Kitchenara is undisclosed; Aanaab’s $7M is followed by other 2024 late-year rounds like Quantum Platform on 2024-10-02). The span of the listing runs from 2021-01-07 (Ejaro) through 2025-07-08 (MoneyLoop/Resal/Sidra Capital).
How dominant are undisclosed rounds and “Series Unknown” classifications?
Disclosure is incomplete: 9 of 23 entries list the amount as “undisclosed” (for example, MoneyLoop and Resal on 2025-07-08, and Barakah on 2024-03-18). Separately, “Series Unknown” appears on 4 entries (Sidra Capital 2025-07-08; Grintafy Technologies 2024-12-04; Areeb Capital 2025-05-11; Athir 2024-08-12).
Which geography appears most often, and does any city name create ambiguity?
Jeddah dominates the locations: 21 of 23 entries list Jeddah, Makkah, Saudi Arabia, while 2 list Mecca, Makkah, Saudi Arabia (notably YNMO on 2024-11-12 and Quix on 2021-05-03 both use Mecca). There are no competing “same-name city, different region” variants within the shown rows—geography resolves largely to Jeddah vs Mecca in the Makkah region.
Do any sectors cluster repeatedly in this list (use a count-based view, not a guess)?
Food and Beverage and Commerce and Shopping each recur at least three times within the 23 entries (Food and Beverage includes Aanaab 2024-12-01, Kitchenara 2024-12-01, and Barakah 2024-03-18; Commerce and Shopping includes Resal 2025-07-08, Jaleesa 2021-12-12, and Mabaat 2021-08-17, plus additional commerce entries like Ejaro 2021-01-07).
