the most thing i was interested to is : Fashion commerce , Saudi Arabia is the hottest destination for e-commerce today, with MarkaVIP and Namshi both raising large rounds of financing to expand in this market, and local companies like Ecommerce Sea establishing a strong presence and growing rapidly.  
Who will win in this game to conquer the Saudi market, and is it all about competition, or is it about growing the market together?
