CAREEM ADVERTISING IN UAE & SAUDI ARABIA
Careem advertising helps brands connect with people using the Careem app for everyday services, including rides and other offerings available in their market. In-app media can support product launches, promotional campaigns, customer acquisition and brand awareness in the UAE and Saudi Arabia (KSA), subject to current market-specific inventory.
Outdoor Advertising Dubai (OAU), part of Express Digital Systems FZCO (EDS), helps advertisers plan Careem in-app campaigns and evaluate complementary Careem BIKE advertising in Dubai. We can assist with media selection, creative preparation, booking coordination and campaign reporting according to the agreed media plan.
WHY ADVERTISE ON CAREEM?
- Relevant everyday contexts: Connect with users as they browse available services, book rides or complete transactions.
- Brand and performance objectives: Select placements suited to awareness, promotion or enquiries.
- Market-specific planning: Explore UAE and KSA opportunities individually, since services, formats and targeting can differ.
- Creative flexibility: Consider static, animated or video assets where supported by the booked placement.
- Integrated campaigns: Combine in-app activity with suitable transit, outdoor or digital advertising.

CAREEM ADVERTISING LOCATIONS IN UAE AND KSA
Dubai: Consider app placements for Dubai-based campaigns and selected Careem BIKE locations where authorised. Physical bike and station media may be relevant to areas such as Dubai Marina, Jumeirah, Business Bay and City Walk, depending on current inventory.
Abu Dhabi and other UAE locations: In-app reach and service availability depend on the specific Careem product, campaign settings and current media offering.
Riyadh, Jeddah and other Saudi cities: Saudi advertising opportunities should be planned separately, with confirmation of supported in-app inventory, targeting and local requirements. Dubai bike-station formats should not be assumed to operate in Saudi Arabia.
