AliExpress, a global online retail marketplace under Alibaba group, is hosting a HUGE Ramadan sale with up to 50% off tons of items – and some of the biggest influencers in the region are starring in the campaign to promote the savings across a variety of social media platforms.
The campaign video features social media sensations Shahad Ballan (@shahadballan), Aya Faisal (@theayoot), Njoud Bint Moshaal (@njoudsh1), Dolly Ayash (@dollyayash) and Darin Al Bayed (@darin00013) excitedly exchanging gifts and showing off what they ordered online from AliExpress.
“The campaign was very fun to shoot, I had a great time,” TV presenter and content creator Shahad Ballan said. She described how she enjoyed meeting all the other influencers and spending time with them on set.
“They’re beautiful girls inside and out. The whole team was amazing. Actually, we were laughing most of the time.”
“It was a great experience to be on set with the girls and the team supporting the project,” beauty and fashion influencer Njoud Bint Moshaal said

“The AliExpress Ramadan sales are very exciting for everyone within the region,” Dolly Ayash said, highlighting the affordable prices AliExpress is offers shoppers. She plans to spend the month catching up with family, friends and loved ones.
