Ed Sheeran in Abu Dhabi: Get a 10-hour roundtrip from Dubai with Careem
The festival, headlined by none other than Ed Sheeran, is being held at Etihad Park in Abu Dhabi on Saturday April 26.
Careem Rides, one of the UAE's most popular e-hailing apps, has brought back its popular 'concert rides' option, which will provide 10-hour round-trip from Dubai to Abu Dhabi at a flat rate.
Available to pre-book from today, it provides you with your own driver, a stress-free ride to and from the festival as well as a specially curated playlist to get you in the mood for OFFLIMITS.
You can choose between a comfort ride seating four people at Dhs749 or a spacious Max vehicle for up to six passengers for Dhs849.
The concert rides proved popular earlier this year when Coldplay officially brought the biggest concert series in UAE history to Abu Dhabi.

How Hull's Craven Park is being transformed for Coldplay
The final hooter had just blown at Craven Park and the Hull Kingston Rovers players were back in their changing room, but on the pitch another team were starting their own 30 minutes, the goalposts had been literally moved and the focus had switched to turning a rugby league stadium into a live music 18 and 19 August, about 25,000 fans will head to east Hull to see KR chief executive Paul Lakin said: "This is on a completely different level. We've had big names before but Coldplay are the biggest band in the world. "It's hard to get your head around when you think they're not performing anywhere else in Europe apart from here and Wembley Stadium." As part of the preparations for the concerts, rugby club staff have "relocated" to allow the backstage crew to get to work, said Mr 80 lorries are being used to transport the stage, lighting and other equipment which means the two concerts will be on a far bigger scale than anything previously seen at Craven Park."Previous acts have come and fitted into our stadium but we've had to work with the demands of Coldplay," said Mr Lakin."They're not budging on how they set up the stage, their pyrotechnics and everything that comes with it."The staging for the concert will take up the entire south end of the ground while a catwalk extending into the stadium will run beyond the halfway line."It's probably the most intimate venue on the tour when you compare us with a stadium that holds 80,000 or 90,000 people," he said."People here will feel like they've got a front row seat, and even those at the back will be unbelievably close." Although the proceeds of the ticket sales will go to the band, Hull Kingston Rovers expect to do well from the sales of food and drink – and they have shipped in 178,000 pints of beer to meet the expected club has also enlisted nearby schools and factories as official parking sites, although fans are being encouraged to use special bus services or free cycle around the stadium will see closures and restrictions on the days of the Music of the Spheres tour started in Costa Rica in 2022, and since then Coldplay have performed more than 200 dates in 43 why did they choose to come to Hull?Mr Lakin, who said they could have sold out 20 nights given the demand for tickets, has no idea."We were one of six venues they considered but we don't actually know why they chose us," he said."There's maybe an element of luck but we'll embrace that. They are going to be special nights and I hope it lives in the memory for many years."
