Careem builds on last year's success with return of Udhiya campaign
Careem has launched its 2025 Eid Al Adha campaign to promote the return of its Udhiya (Qurbani) meat offering on the app. The campaign is fully developed and produced by its in-house Creative Studio. Running primarily across social media, the campaign's hero film features a humorous video showing a Careem delivery rider surrounded by sheep and picking one up in the middle of a farm, linking a light-hearted visual with the app's simplified ordering process. In line with last year's tone, the Careem campaign leans into a witty voice – with the lead asset captioned 'They're baaaaaaaack 🐑 Don't stress about your Udhiya this Eid – we've goat you covered 😉'. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Careem UAE (@careemuae) It follows the success of Careem's 2024 campaign, where the app temporarily added a sheep icon among its services to reflect the addition of the Udhiya delivery service to the platform. Last year's theme static visual titled The Goat Father – a play on the cinematic classic – promoted the various livestock options available. The announcement of the new delivery service and the sheep icon were widely shared across social channels, WhatsApp groups and were even picked up by local media. This year, Careem's campaign retains that irreverent tone while continuing to spotlight convenience and community impact – particularly the option to donate Udhiya meat directly to the UAE Food Bank. Careem Groceries VP, Chase Lario, said the campaign reflects the brand's broader mission to simplify meaningful moments in customers' lives, 'Our aim is to simplify every part of our customers' lives – including their religious and cultural traditions. Customers loved the ease and convenience of ordering their Udhiya through Careem last year, and we're excited to bring it back to support this meaningful practice while also enabling charitable giving.' To extend reach and engagement, Careem is also collaborating with influencers across the UAE. These partnerships are designed to complement the in-house creative and help position the campaign as both accessible and culturally relevant. With all content produced by Careem's internal creative studio, the campaign maintains a consistent brand identity across touchpoints — from app interface to social video. It reflects the platform's broader strategy of localising services and messaging around key cultural and religious moments.

Prices Up to Dh7,000: Eid Al Adha Udhiya Delivery Services Now Available on UAE Grocery Apps
Grocery apps Careem and Noon are bringing back their popular Udhiya delivery services, giving UAE residents a convenient way to fulfil their Eid Al Adha sacrifice from the comfort of home. 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. News Source: Khaleej Times
