Careem, in partnership with Umrahme and Emirates Islamic gifted top-performing Captains an all-expenses paid trip to perform Umrah ahead of Ramadan 2024.
Captains were selected on the basis of customer ratings and total number of completed trips.
Umrahme covered flights, hotel packages and visa costs while Emirates Islamic covered daily spending allowances and tours of Mecca for the Captains to visit cultural and religious sites. Tours included visits to sites including Jabal Al Noor, Al Hira Cave, Masjid Al-Taneem and Hiral Cultural District.
Mudassir Sheikha, CEO and Co-founder of Careem said: “We’re deeply grateful for the generosity of Umrahme and Emirates Islamic in providing Careem Captains with this meaningful trip to Mecca for Umrah. Performing Umrah is a deeply spiritual experience for Muslims around the world as they prepare for Ramadan, and the month of Sha’ban holds great significance for the journey. Captains are the heart and soul of Careem and since many of them prioritize sending their earnings abroad to support their families, we’re honored to provide them with this opportunity as a gesture of appreciation for their hard work.”
Mohammed Bin Mahfouz, CEO of Umrahme said: “Ramadan is the month of giving and reminds us of the importance of generosity and gratitude. At Umrahme, we’re committed to embodying this spirit of giving by honoring these hardworking Captains at Careem with an all-inclusive Umrah trip. As they dedicate themselves to supporting their families and serving the community, we’re privileged to support them in their own spiritual journey. This experience distinctly mirrors the ethos that Umrahme upholds, and we are humbled to facilitate their trip for our esteemed partners at Careem.”
“The Holy month of Ramadan gives us an opportunity to spread joy and cheer in the community, and we were delighted to support Careem in their considerate initiative. Providing deserving Captains with the opportunity to perform Umrah aligns with Emirates Islamic’s values of generosity and supporting the community and those in need,” said Mohamed Al Hadi, Acting Head of Retail Banking and Wealth Management at Emirates Islamic.
