Dubai:As Eid Al Adha is approaching, Dubai Municipality has strengthened efforts to provide the
best service to the public in its abattoirs through 200 butchers, volunteers and workers.
With the aim of ensuring the speedy delivery of the service during the Eid Al Adha period,
the Fast Abattoir service will be operated in order to accommodate the expected rush
during this period.
In addition to this, 20 volunteers are employed during this period, whose tasks are to
organize work within the service centers in the various branches of abattoirs, to ensure the
application of precautionary measures, and to help in responding to customer enquiries,
which will contribute to providing the abattoir services smoothly and flexibly. The abattoirs
of the Municipality include Al Qusais, Al Quoz, Al Lisaili, and Hatta.
Dubai Abattoirs affiliated to Dubai Municipality cooperate with a set of smart applications
to help the public to purchase livestock without the need for the customer to vit the
abattoir. Home delivery is also made available. The four smart applications for animal
sacrifice request include “Al Mawashi” app, “Turki” app, “Shabab Al Freej” app and the
“Dhabayih Aldaar” app. The animals are slaughtered under Municipality supervision in the
abattoirs. Sacrificial animals can also be requested from charities such as Dar Al Ber
Society, Dubai Charity Association, Red Crescent Authority, Al Ihsan Charity Association,
Sharjah Charity International, Beit Al Khair Society, in addition to the UAE Food Bank.
The Dubai Abattoirs are keen to exert all efforts aimed at making the customers happy,
and to provide high-quality services that are in line with their aspirations and needs, taking
into account reducing waiting hours and speed in providing services. In addition to that the
Abattoirs are also keen to implement all preventive measures aimed at preserving the
health and safety of all members of the society, as the commitment of Abattoirs in the
emirate comes with various health requirements in the first place.
It is worth noting that Dubai Abattoirs have launched a set of initiatives aimed at
motivating and encouraging members of society and various partners, livestock traders,
butchers and meat distributors to use smart applications, in order to benefit from its
multiple advantages and the smoothness of the services that are provided through it, in
addition to providing ideally equipped places to prepare the meat after the veterinary
examination, the slaughter of livestock, and the final veterinary examination in preparation
for delivery to customers’ homes, without the need for their personal presence in the
abattoirs.
This will also contribute in reducing the number of visitors to the service centers and
enhancing the position of the Emirate of Dubai in the field of smart services, as well as
contributing to environmental goals related to reducing traffic congestion which cuts short
the emission of carbon dioxide (carbon footprint). It will also reduce the phenomenon of
roaming butchers and enhance the standards of maintaining the public health of all
members of society.
