How it works
From a request to the document
Bariq gives the licensed guide tools to issue the booking document in their own name. The document matches the Ministry of Tourism's conditions. The agreement takes four steps. At each step the platform is a tool.
The four steps
The licensed guide prepares the offer and sends it to the tourist
The guide sets out the service, its price, its dates and the terms in one offer. Then the guide sends it to the tourist.
The tourist reviews the document and approves it
The tourist opens a link that needs no sign-in and reads the document in their language. They approve exactly what they read.
Issuing the document, and sending it
Once issued, the document does not change. A correction is a new document with a new number, naming the one it replaces. You and the tourist each receive the final copy with a download link.
Anyone can verify the document
The document carries its number and a verification code. It shows its number, the issue date and the licensed guide.
The seven particulars in the document
The booking document prints the particulars article 17(2) requires, from أ to ز, in the article's own order. The list below is the document's own list.

What the platform does not do
The platform's scope is the offer alone: it publishes licensed guides' profiles and requests, and provides the tools. Four limits follow, and the licensed guide keeps them.
- The licensed guide sets their rate, and the platform sets no price.
- The platform does not collect the fee for the service, hold it or settle it between the parties.
- The licensed guide issues the document and stands behind the agreement. The platform is not the party that confirms it.
- The licensed guide carries the service and its standard; the platform is not a party to it.
