Careem Food launches ‘Meals:On' in Abu Dhabi to simplify solo food orders
Careem Plus members get free delivery, even on low-priced solo orders
Abu Dhabi, UAE: Careem announces the launch of 'Meals:On' in Abu Dhabi - a new Careem Food feature designed to simplify solo food orders and make high-quality meal deals more affordable for customers ordering alone.
Ordering a solo meal often feels expensive, with a lack of reasonably priced meal bundles. Careem Food's 'Meals:On' solves this by offering a curated selection of complete, high-quality meal deals from top local and international restaurants, all priced under AED 29. Most meals include a main dish, side salad, and drink and can be found in a dedicated section on Careem Food for easy one-tap ordering.
Careem's data indicates that over 64% of Careem Food customers in the UAE typically order for one during lunch hours. 'Meals:On' caters to that majority, drawing inspiration from Munch:On, the solo-meal platform Careem acquired in 2022, and has been rebuilt within Careem Food to meet the needs of today's solo diner.
Following its Abu Dhabi debut, 'Meals:On' will roll out in Dubai in the coming weeks and expand to include options for two or more people, meal plans, meal scheduling, and bundles for small groups.
Jaskaran Singh, VP of Careem Food, commented: 'Our purpose at Careem is to simplify life in the region, and with this launch we're doing just that for solo diners. Whether it's lunch during a busy workday or a quick dinner after hours, customers often feel overwhelmed by the choices and feel like they're paying too much for each meal. Meals:On eliminates that friction by making high-quality, affordable meals available with minimal effort.'
Imad El Fay, VP of Growth at Kitopi, added: "We're excited to partner with Careem on the launch of Meals: On to make it easier and more affordable for customers to enjoy great food, especially when ordering for one person. This initiative aligns perfectly with our mission to deliver magical food experiences at scale, and we're proud to feature many of our brands in this curated collection.'
Meals:On boats a number of popular Abu Dhabi restaurants including Wagamama, Wingstop, Just Burger, Zaatar w Zeit, Barbar, Papa Johns, Right Bite, Sushi Do, Costa, Allo Beirut, and more. Careem Plus members also enjoy free delivery on Meals:On orders, even if the order value is below AED 30 - a benefit designed specifically for solo meal purchases.
Careem Plus members also enjoy benefits across Careem's other services, including exclusive discounts and free delivery on food and grocery orders, up to 50% off dining bills with Careem DineOut, member-only rates on international transfers through Careem Pay, cashback on rides, and more.
To try Meals:On, customers in Abu Dhabi can download the latest version of the Careem app and tap on 'Meals:On' under Careem Food.

GulfNav's $871M Deal Signals Strategic Shift in Energy Logistics
Dubai-listed Gulf Navigation Holding PJSC has secured shareholder approval for a AED 3.2 billion acquisition of Brooge Energy Ltd.'s assets, marking a significant expansion into the midstream oil and gas sector. The transaction, involving cash, newly issued shares, and mandatory convertible bonds , is expected to close in the second quarter of 2025, pending regulatory approvals. The acquisition encompasses Brooge Petroleum and Gas Investment Company FZE, Brooge Petroleum and Gas Investment Company Phase III FZE, and BPGIC Phase 3 Limited. These entities operate advanced storage facilities in Fujairah, a strategic oil storage and export hub. GulfNav plans to integrate these assets to enhance its storage and logistics capabilities, aligning with its long-term vision to become a dominant player in the energy sector. The deal's financial structure includes the issuance of 358,841,476 new shares to Brooge Energy at AED 1.25 per share, with a one-year lock-up period. Additionally, MCBs worth AED 2.336 billion will be issued to Brooge, convertible at the same price and subject to a similar lock-up period post-conversion. An extra AED 500 million in MCBs, priced at AED 1.10 per share, will be allocated to existing GulfNav shareholders, with major shareholders covering any unsubscribed bonds. A cash payment of AED 460 million completes the settlement. ADVERTISEMENT CEO Ahmad Kilani stated that the acquisition is expected to generate significant operational synergies, including cost savings from integrated logistics and increased storage capacity. Financially, the deal is projected to enhance GulfNav's revenue streams and improve EBITDA margins over the next few years. The issuance of new shares and MCBs will increase GulfNav's share capital by approximately 320%. Brooge Energy, founded in 2013 and based in the Cayman Islands, operates through subsidiaries focused on clean petroleum products, biofuels, and crude oil storage. Its facilities in Fujairah are among the most technologically advanced in the sector, adhering to international standards. The company's strategic location outside the Strait of Hormuz positions it advantageously in global oil logistics. The acquisition aligns with GulfNav's commitment to sustainable growth and operational excellence. Post-acquisition, the company plans to expand its storage and logistics capabilities to meet the growing demand for midstream oil and gas services in the region. By leveraging Brooge's advanced infrastructure, GulfNav aims to improve operational efficiencies, diversify its service offerings, and unlock new revenue opportunities. Additionally, the company will continue to support the UAE's sustainability goals by exploring innovative solutions, such as alternative fuel storage and reduced carbon emissions. The transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. GulfNav's Board of Directors has been authorized to take all necessary actions to finalize the acquisition, including completing regulatory approvals, amending the Articles of Association, and overseeing capital increase procedures.
