Prices Up to Dh7,000: Eid Al Adha Udhiya Delivery Services Now Available on UAE Grocery Apps
From May 15 to June 4, residents in Dubai and Abu Dhabi can pre-order sacrificial animals through Careem Groceries, choosing to either receive the meat at home or donate it to the UAE Food Bank. The platform is partnering once again with Dhabayeh Al Emarat, offering options such as a local goat for Dh1,723 and a Naimi sheep for Dh2,143.
Noon Minutes, in collaboration with Zabehaty (Oasis Livestock), is offering a broader range, including a full cow or camel for Dh7,000, alongside Somali goats (Dh1,000), Kashmiri sheep (Dh1,300), and local Nuaimi sheep (Dh1,800). Customers can choose specific time slots for delivery and preferred meat cuts.
The Udhiya, or Qurbani, commemorates Prophet Ibrahim's willingness to sacrifice his son as an act of obedience. Meat from the sacrifice is traditionally shared with family, friends, and those in need.
Chase Lario, VP of Careem Groceries, said last year's strong response motivated the team to bring the service back. 'Customers loved the ease and convenience... and we're excited to support this meaningful practice again,'
he said.
Users on both apps can select the day of sacrifice during the first four days of Eid. Careem also enables direct donation to the UAE Food Bank, which has provided over 70 million meals to date.
Eid Al Adha is expected to fall on Saturday, June 7, with a possible five-day holiday from June 6 to June 10, subject to Moon sightings.

How I got my job as… founder of this Moroccan-inspired fashion label
This week, we speak to Aisha Jabrane, Founder of JABASHI Fashion. Known for its intricate designs, the brand is known for their elegant abayas crafted to perfection. Welcome to the Emirates Woman weekly series 'How I got my job as…' where we speak to some incredible entrepreneurs and businesswomen both based in the UAE and globally to find out about their career paths that led them to where they are now; what their daily routines look like; the advice they'd give to those starting out; and the hurdles they've had to overcome. This fashion brand blends the intricate artistry of Morocco, the glamour of the Middle East, and the timeless elegance of South Asia into a modern luxury statement. To delve into her journey, Emirates Woman sat down with Jabrane to see how it all began. What was your favourite subject at school? Psychology. I've always been captivated by the way people think, feel, and express themselves. Fashion, to me, is an unspoken language and that early curiosity about human nature became the foundation for my creative journey. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JABASHI (@shopjabashi) What was your first job? At 18, I worked in a high-end eyewear boutique. It was my first true immersion into the world of luxury retail, where I learned that refinement is as much about experience and detail as it is about the product itself. What brought you to Dubai? While I am based in the United States, my designs were naturally drawn to Dubai's cosmopolitan energy and discerning clientele. Dubai is a global stage for elegance, where tradition meets innovation, which mirrors exactly what Jabashi Fashion stands for. What inspired you to enter the fashion space and launch JABASHI FASHION? My story is one of cultural fusion. I am American-born with Pakistani and Kashmiri heritage, and I married into Moroccan culture. Jabashi Fashion was born from my desire to weave these worlds together blending the intricate artistry of Morocco, the glamour of the Middle East, and the timeless elegance of South Asia into a modern luxury statement. Talk us through the concept. Jabashi Fashion is a curated blend of heritage and high fashion. Every piece is handcrafted to embody both tradition and contemporary allure, think Moroccan embroidery, flowing Middle Eastern silhouettes, and sophisticated detailing designed for the modern woman. What are the key elements of your role? As founder and creative director, I oversee everything from design and fabric sourcing to brand partnerships and visual storytelling. I am deeply committed to ensuring each collection carries our signature: cultural authenticity, impeccable craftsmanship, and a sense of timeless elegance. View this post on Instagram A post shared by JABASHI (@shopjabashi) Talk us through your daily routine. I start my mornings with gratitude and prayer to set an intentional tone for the day. The early hours are devoted to reviewing design progress, liaising with our artisans, and managing international logistics. Afternoons are for creative directio, photoshoots, campaign planning, and client consultations. Evenings are sacred for family time, reflection, and sketching new ideas. What advice do you have for anyone looking to follow in the same footsteps? Never dilute your story to fit into trends. In luxury fashion, your narrative is your most powerful asset. Protect your vision fiercely, build meaningful relationships with your artisans, and let quality, not quantity define your success. Tell us more about the products. We design luxury abayas, gowns, and Moroccan-inspired statement pieces that embody elegance, heritage, and modernity. Each garment is crafted using premium fabrics and fine detailing, made for women who appreciate both artistry and exclusivity. What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? 'Protect your brand like it's your name.' Reputation and trust are irreplaceable in this industry. And what is the worst? 'Play it safe.' True creativity exists beyond comfort zones. What's the biggest challenge you have had to overcome? Managing international production while preserving uncompromising quality. Working with artisans across different time zones and cultural contexts has been both a challenge and a privilege, it requires vision, patience, and precision. What lies ahead for the brand? Our vision is to expand into the Gulf region with exclusive capsule collections, high-profile collaborations, and eventually a flagship presence in Dubai. The future of Jabashi Fashion is about becoming a global name synonymous with cultural elegance and modern luxury. We will be adding very unique jewellery pieces as well. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Supplied & Feature Image: Supplied

Careem Box expands to include larger car-based deliveries with ‘Box XL'
- Currently available in Dubai and expanding to Abu Dhabi and Amman soon - City-to-city deliveries launching in the coming months Dubai, UAE: Careem announces the launch of 'Box XL,' expanding its popular Careem Box pickup and delivery service to accommodate larger items. Customers in Dubai can now request cars for deliveries, enabling the transportation of items previously too large for standard bike deliveries. The launch of Box XL directly addresses customer demand, as nearly 20% of Careem Box users requested options to send larger items such as home appliances (microwaves, air fryers), computer screens, and larger purchases from marketplace platforms like Dubizzle. Initially launching in Dubai, Box XL will soon expand to Abu Dhabi and Amman, with city-to-city deliveries launching in the coming months. Emad Gharzuddine, GM of Careem Box, commented: 'Careem Box has become the trusted choice for picking up and delivering important items across Dubai, whether it's a forgotten passport before a flight or a home-cooked meal from family. Since launching the service in 2022, we've had over 900,000 different customers use Careem Box in Dubai. With Box XL, we're excited to accommodate larger items, making the service even more convenient and useful for our customers.' In addition to the standard pick-up and delivery service, customers can also request Careem Box captains to purchase and deliver items directly from a chosen location through 'Box Purchase', with purchases capped at AED 350. Customers frequently use this feature for retail purchases or last-minute gifts. Many customers use the service to purchase basic t-shirts from malls. Since launching, Careem Box has seen strong growth driven by varied customer use-cases. In 2024, one customer in Dubai used Careem Box over 1380 times (that's almost 4 times a day!), while another completed over 120 deliveries in just one day. Commonly delivered items include forgotten passports, IDs, laptops, mobile phones, and personal items, but many customers use the service to order their favorite meals from restaurants that don't deliver. To use the service, customers can open the latest version of the Careem app and select 'Box' from the home screen. Careem Plus members benefit from free deliveries and discounts on food and grocery orders, member-only rates on international money transfers, discounts on home services, dining bills, and more - saving an average of AED 300 per month. About Careem Careem is building the Everything App for the greater Middle East, making it easier than ever to move around, order food and groceries, manage payments, and more. Careem is led by a powerful purpose to simplify and improve the lives of people and build an awesome organisation that inspires.
