Likee, a short-video platform popular in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, has become a popular social network for people who love to travel and share destination footage.
Much like its close competitor, TikTok, the draw of the platform lies in its ability to communicate big messages in a short time frame, and it is attracting attention from thousands of users.
