Careem’s biggest delivery ever in Dubai is one you need to see

Dubai has seen some pretty impressive deliveries, but Careem just took things to another level. Last week, a whopping 690kg block of ice made its way to Atlantis Aquaventure in an electric van, marking the heaviest order ever delivered through the app. And it all started with a little back-and-forth on Instagram. Over the summer, Careem introduced giant blocks of ice on its app to help Dubai residents cool down their swimming pools. Dubai-based content creator Mo Vlogs decided to take things a little further and ordered every single block available. When he shared the purchase on social media, Atlantis Aquaventure joined the conversation, asking Careem whether it could help cool down its pool, too. There was just one small detail: Aquaventure holds a staggering 23 million litres of water. Car manufacturer Farizon Auto spotted the exchange and offered to help with the delivery. A few days later, a Farizon SV electric chiller van pulled up at Atlantis Aquaventure carrying a whopping 690kg block of ice. The delivery officially became the heaviest order in Careem’s history, turning a playful social media exchange into a rather unusual arrival at one of Dubai’s best-known waterparks. Surprisingly, yes. Careem added the oversized ice blocks to its app over the summer as a way for residents to tackle the heat in their private pools. The app is already known for everything from rides and restaurant deliveries to groceries and payments, but a delivery weighing almost three-quarters of a tonne is certainly a new one. As for whether 690kg of ice could make much difference to 23 million litres of water? We’d love to see that experiment. And if you’re wondering what else you can get delivered, there’s always the Careem app. Although we’re not sure how you’d top a 690kg block of ice. Creative and production agency: onepointfive
