Dubai delivery riders pray, watch movies inside air-conditioned hubs as midday break begins

Dubai delivery riders

The introduction of air-conditioned rest areas for delivery riders in Dubai marks a significant improvement in their working conditions. Initiated to address concerns about their well-being, these stations provide essential amenities like water, snacks, and charging points. Riders appreciate these facilities for offering a place to rest, hydrate, and even watch movies or perform religious duties during breaks. Companies like Talabat and Deliveroo have collaborated with government entities to establish over 6,000 such rest areas across the city, demonstrating a commitment to supporting and valuing their workforce.
