Sharjah livestock market prepares for Eid Al-Adha
Engineer Abdullah Al Shamsi, Director of Sharjah City Markets, said: 'Every year during Eid Al-Adha, the livestock market implements a well-planned operational strategy, covering the process from the selection of sacrificial animals to their delivery. Our approach is aligned with the highest international standards in hygiene and public health.' Well-structured visitor access and increased manpower Al Shamsi added: 'We've developed a clear plan for organising visitor entry and placed guidance signs across the market. We've also doubled the number of butchers, supervisors, health inspectors, and cleaners by 100% during Eid to ensure maximum efficiency and quick service.' He explained that the customer journey begins at the cashier area where the service fee is paid. The sacrificial animals are then transferred to the designated slaughter zone. Once the process is complete, the customer is notified, and the meat is delivered by a specialised team from the abattoir to a designated waiting tent. Advance booking and doorstep delivery Al Shamsi also confirmed that customers can pre-book their sacrifices and opt for home delivery via the designated Barraq team. The service does not include self-pickup from the market. This streamlined system ensures a smooth and accurate pre-order experience. Customers can get more information or book services by calling 80080088. Operating hours during Eid The market will be open throughout Eid Al-Adha, from 6:00 AM until midnight. The abattoir will begin operations directly after Eid prayers and remain open until 3:30 PM daily. A waiting tent is set up outside the market for customers, with delivery available from Barraq for added convenience. Slaughtering fees Sharjah Livestock Market has set the following slaughtering fees: • Goats and sheep: AED 15 • Small cows and camels: AED 25 • Medium-sized cows and camels: AED 40 • Large cows and camels: AED 70 Slaughterhouse capacity and staffing The market's slaughterhouse can handle up to 300 livestock animals and 25 cattle per hour, across three service lines. Operations are managed by 100 butchers under the supervision of eight inspectors and supervisors. Twelve veterinary doctors oversee animal health and hygiene, while 55 workers maintain cleanliness and support logistics. Sharjah Livestock Market is one of the key projects operated by Sharjah Asset Management, the investment arm of the Government of Sharjah.
