Careem has launched a three-course lunch deal for only Dhs29 in Abu Dhabi
But now there's a slick new solution from Careem that's here to save your midday munch. Say hello to Meals:On.
Launching in Abu Dhabi, Meals:On is Careem Food's newest feature and it's tailor-made for the city's solo diners. The idea is simple: curated, quality meal deals from top Abu Dhabi spots – all under Dhs29. We're talking mains, sides and drinks bundled together for less than the price of your favourite brunch drink.
Here's why this is a game-changer: over 64 percent of Careem Food's customers in the UAE usually order for one, especially during lunch. Inspired by Careem's 2022 acquisition of solo-meal platform Munch:On, Meals:On was rebuilt from scratch to streamline lunch breaks and late-night cravings for solo foodies across the capital.
And there's more good news. If you're a Careem Plus member, delivery is totally free – even if your meal costs just Dhs15. That means no more feeling guilty about ordering dinner for one or padding your basket just to hit a minimum spend.
You'll find dishes from your Abu Dhabi faves like:
Wagamama
Wingstop
Just Burger
Papa Johns
Allo Beirut
Zaatar w Zeit
Right Bite
Barbar
Costa
Sushi Do
(And more).
Careem's promising even more coming soon, including options for couples, small group bundles, meal planning and scheduling. And Dubai, you're up next.
So if your midday meetings are running long and your fridge is looking sad, fire up the Careem app, hit Meals:On and order something delicious without breaking the bank – or your lunch break.

Back to school travel tips to beat the rush at Dubai Airport
Over 3.6 million passengers are expected between 13 and 25 August, with around 280,000 travellers each day with the back to school rush. Here's how to make your journey smoother. Use Smart Gates If you are a UAE resident, Smart Gates let you pass through immigration quickly. These automated gates use your biometrics for fast, seamless processing, so lines are shorter and waiting times are minimal. Repeat travellers may already have biometrics recorded. Check your eligibility at GDRFA. Parking can get busy if you're picking someone up. There are no free pick-up zones, so use the car parks: Terminal 1: Car Park A (Premium): Dhs30 for 30 mins, Dhs40 for 2 hours Car Park B (Economy): Dhs25 for 1 hour Terminal 3: Dhs30 for 30 mins, Dhs40 for 2 hours on all levels Getting around Taxis: Available at DXB, but lines can be long. Pre-book through Careem, Uber, or Bolt. Starting fare: Dhs25. Metro: Red Line connects Terminals 1 and 3 to the city. Only 2 suitcases per passenger. Baggage limits: 1 large (81×58×30 cm), 1 small (55×38×20 cm). You will need a nol card, which is available at the station. Metro timings: Monday to Thursday: 5am to midnight Friday: 5am to 1am Saturday: 5am to midnight Sunday: 8am to midnight Hand luggage and security Dubai airport authorities have strict regulations on what you can carry in your cabin baggage, including liquids, electronics, power banks, and even certain personal items. Here's what you need to know. Declaring cash and valuables If you carry cash, jewellery, or valuables over Dhs60,000, you must declare them. Use the Afseh platform: or the Afseh app. Make travel easier Arrive early: at least 3 hours before your flight. Check in online: save time and pick your seat in advance. Keep documents ready: passport, boarding pass, and ID. Travel light: carry only essentials to speed up security. Stay hydrated and snack smart: bring a refillable water bottle (empty before security) and small snacks. Use the DXB Airport app: track flights, terminal maps, and lounges. Follow signs: smart Gates, baggage claim, and gates to save walking time. Plan transportation: know if you're taking a taxi, metro, or private car. Keep kids entertained: books, tablets, or games help during long queues. Be patient: queues are unavoidable, so give yourself extra time.
