Pixbit builds the customer apps, agent portals and back-office systems UAE travel agencies, tour operators and hotels run on. Each product connects to inventory and payments, in Arabic and English, confirming bookings instantly.
01
Custom Travel App Development
iOS, Android and web apps built around how your travellers book, from search and checkout to e-tickets and trip changes. You own the code, so features follow your business model.
02
Transfer and Taxi Booking
Airport transfer, chauffeur and taxi booking apps with live driver tracking, fixed fares, card and wallet payments and dispatch dashboards. We build for RTA-licensed operators and connect them to their fleet and payment systems.
03
Hotel Booking App
Hotel and apartment booking apps with live availability from your PMS or channel manager, room and rate selection, secure payment and instant confirmation. Loyalty, upgrades and in-stay requests keep guests coming back and booking direct instead of through OTAs.
04
Travel Planner App
Itinerary apps that pull flights, hotels, transfers and activities into one timeline, with offline access, reminders and sharing. Travel agencies use them to deliver trips digitally and to upsell tours and transfers during the stay.
05
Ticket Booking App
Ticketing apps for attractions, desert safaris, cruises and events, with timed-entry slots, QR tickets, capacity limits and gate scanning. Operators see ticket sales and attendance live, and resellers book through their own branded portal.
06
Flight Booking App
Flight search and booking through GDS or airline NDC connections, with fare rules, seat and baggage selection, ticket issuance and schedule change alerts. Agents and travellers both get clear, bookable results in seconds, in Arabic or English.
Travel software in the UAE has to handle licensing, tourism fees and tax, not just bookings. Pixbit maps the rules that apply to your business before design starts and builds them into checkout, invoicing and reporting.
01
DET Licensing
Travel agencies, tour operators and holiday home operators in Dubai are licensed by the Department of Economy and Tourism. We store licence details and show them where DET requires.
02
Holiday Home Permits
Every Dubai holiday home unit needs its own DET permit before it is listed. Our platforms track permit numbers and expiry dates per unit and block listings that lapse.
03
Tourism Dirham
Hotels and holiday homes charge Tourism Dirham per occupied room per night, shown as a separate invoice line and returned to DET monthly. We automate the line and the monthly report.
04
VAT Invoicing
Booking and hotel systems issue FTA-compliant tax invoices at 5% VAT, with commission, markup and supplier payables tracked separately for your accountants.
05
Traveller Data
Passport copies, payment details and guest records are handled under the UAE Personal Data Protection Law, with card data tokenised to keep PCI DSS scope small.
06
Arabic and Multi-Currency
Arabic right-to-left interfaces, AED checkout with multi-currency display, and GCC-friendly payment methods, so travellers from the region book without friction.
White-label booking engines launch quickly, but they lock you into one supplier set, one checkout and someone else's roadmap. As a travel business grows in the UAE, the gaps show: no Arabic flow, no Tourism Dirham line, no link to your accounting, and no control of checkout.
Custom travel software puts your products, suppliers and margins first. Pixbit builds booking platforms you own, connected to the GDS, bed banks and payment gateways you choose, with DET, VAT and data protection handled from the first sprint. Our travel work includes Smash Tours and Travels in the UAE and a UAE dorm booking platform.
Software for Travel Operators in Dubai
Beyond consumer apps, Pixbit builds the platforms UAE travel companies run their business on, each connected to live inventory, payments and your own accounting.
Travel Portal Development
B2C and B2B travel portals with flights, hotels, packages and activities, plus agent markups, credit limits and branded sites for sub-agents.
Hotel Management Software
Property management with reservations, housekeeping, guest folios, VAT and Tourism Dirham invoicing, and two-way sync with channel managers and OTAs, all in one system.
Vacation Rental App
Holiday home platforms that track DET permit numbers per unit, manage calendars across Airbnb and Booking.com, and handle guest check-in, IDs and security deposits.
Navigation and Geolocation App
Location-aware guides with maps, points of interest, offline routes and nearby offers, built for tourists and residents exploring Dubai, Abu Dhabi and beyond.
Travel Agent Software
Mid and back-office systems for UAE travel agencies: quotations, bookings, supplier payments, commissions and VAT reports in one place. It connects to your GDS and accounting software, so agents stop re-keying the same data.
Virtual Tour App
360-degree tours of hotels, apartments, venues and attractions on web and mobile, linked straight to booking. Travellers see the room, pool or view before they pay, so fewer bookings get cancelled or disputed after arrival.
Travel APIs and Integrations We Build in the UAE
A booking app is only as good as its inventory. These are the travel supply, payment and messaging connections Pixbit builds most often, each tested in sandbox before production.
GDS and Airline NDC
Amadeus, Sabre and Travelport, plus direct airline NDC APIs, for flight search, fare rules, ticketing and schedule change handling.
Hotel Bed Banks
Hotelbeds, WebBeds and other wholesale suppliers, with rate mapping, markups and instant confirmation inside your own booking flow.
Channel Managers and PMS
Two-way availability and rate sync with channel managers, hotel PMS platforms, Airbnb and Booking.com, so rooms never oversell.
Payment Gateways
Network International, Checkout.com, Telr and PayTabs, plus Apple Pay, Google Pay, Tabby and Tamara for split payments.
Tours and Activities
Attraction, desert safari and activity supplier APIs, with timed slots, QR tickets and live capacity pulled into itineraries.
Messaging and Notifications
WhatsApp Business API, SMS and email for confirmations, e-tickets, reminders and trip change alerts in Arabic and English.
