It started as a classified ads list only, and later a dedicated forum was added to the services of the website, and then a bazaar schema was added.

After its success, an establishment ITDar was established to hold the official status of Mstaml.com website.

Features

It was one of the first dynamic sites which used DHTML as the main feature providing easiness and speed to browse the posted ads on slow dial-up lines.

And its idea was very successful in Saudi Arabia, because it was a mix of a forum and a classified ads electronic list. Every ad can be made as a forum to be discussed freely by other members so people can get benefits from the experience of the others before dealing with the advertiser regarding his ad.

Recently, non-members can post up to ten ads by providing only their mobile number. And only one of those ads will be active at any time.
