Ed Sheeran in Abu Dhabi: Get a 10-hour roundtrip from Dubai with Careem
If you're one of the many travelling to the capital for OFFLIMITS music festival this weekend, then you may need to know about this service.
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.
It allowed people to travel between the two cities and avoid the hassle of finding a cab when the concerts were over.

Tickets are still available for the all-day festival with general admission priced at Dhs495 and premium standing at Dhs895.
Also on the line-up for the festival are EDM pioneers Faithless, indie rockers Kaiser Chiefs, pop-rock band OneRepublic and Ukrainian DJ duo ARTBAT.
There will be something catering to all tastes on the line-up, with 15 other international and local acts announced for OFFLIMITS.
No special public transport services have been announced for the day, but intercity bus services should be running as normal.
If you've already made your way to Abu Dhabi, then Careem has also made a discount available for the festival.
