Emirates Post (Empost) is the company that operates post offices and
postal services in Dubai and the UAE. At start of 2008, Emirates Post
had close to 90 post offices in the UAE.
Mail Delivery in the UAE and Post Office boxes
There is no mail delivery to street addresses in the UAE, all mail goes
to PO Boxes at the various post office locations. Most residents have
mail delivered to their company's post office box, which is collected
daily by most companies, and delivered to their employees. Your address
is normally accepted as the company's PO Box in the UAE.
This can cause problems when supplying an address to various organisations
overseas who are not familiar with mail delivery in Dubai and the UAE
(and many other countries in the Middle East). Usually if you explain
the situation, companies will be sympathetic.
You can get your own personal mail box - a good idea if you think you
may changing employers on a regular basis, but want to stay in the UAE.
The disadvantage is you have to go and get your own mail. PO Box rental
costs about 200-500 dhs per year (increased from 100-250 dhs in February
2008). New applications can be accepted at anytime (if there are PO
Boxes available) but renewal is always done in January. Go to your favorite
post office location with passport, copy of residence visa (employment
shouldn't be necessary) and some cash.
Courier companies such as Aramex, DHL, Fedex will do home and office
deliveries. It is normal to supply them with a telephone number for
the recipient so the courier company can phone and get directions to
the delivery location. Street addresses do exist, sort of, but navigation
is more often done with the use of major landmarks, common names for
streets (rather than the signposted name), and building names and colors.
Fridays and public holiday post office opening hours
On public holidays and Fridays, most post offices are closed. However,
the larger branches may be open from 9am to 1pm, and in Dubai shopping
centers some post offices are open from 5pm to 9pm. The Dubai airport
post office is open 24 hours per day, 365 days per year.
UAE newspapers usually carry details of post office timings the day
before public holidays start.
Collection of mail from PO Boxes is usually available 24 hrs per day.
Collection of large packets and registered mail depends on post office
timings.
24 hour post offices
- Dubai International Airport in the departure terminal (after clearing
customs)
- Emarat petrol station (the green & blue one) on Al Wasl Rd in Dubai
(near the Jumeirah Post Office) has some postal services and is open
24 hours.
If you know of any other locations which offer 24 hour postal services,
please add a reply to the UAE
post office topic.
