Celebrating 4 years in Dubai

October 1, 2017 / Dubai

This week marks Uber’s 4th anniversary in Dubai. Over these 4 incredible years, we’ve taken millions of trips together. We’ve fed you hundreds of thousands of meals with UberEATS. We’ve kept you cool during the peak of summer, kept you moving during concerts, races, and trade shows, and even helped you to safety in the midst of emergencies. We’ve re-discovered our city while riding to work, dinners, airports, meet-ups, weekend adventures, and at the end of it all – home.

On this anniversary, let’s take a look at where we’ve been and—more importantly—where we’re going together.

Trips to the moon and back, to be exact. Since 2013, Dubai riders and Partner-Drivers have travelled hundreds of thousands of kilometers together with Uber.
