Careem is the first super app in the Middle East. A pioneer of the region’s ride-hailing economy, Careem is expanding services across its platform to include mass transportation, delivery and payments to become the region’s everyday SuperApp. Careem’s mission is to simplify and improve the lives of people and build a lasting organisation that inspires. Careem was founded in July 2012 by Mudassir Sheikha and Magnus Olsson. Abdulla Elyas joined Magnus and Sheikha as the third co-founder in the summer of 2014. Careem was acquired by Uber in 2020.
Careem operates in over 100 cities across 14 countries and has created more than one million employment opportunities in the region.
