Careem Huawei AppGallery partnership marks a significant milestone in the Middle East’s digital ecosystem, as the super app officially launches on one of the world’s top three app marketplaces. This strategic collaboration brings Careem’s comprehensive suite of services to 90 million Huawei users across the region, enabling seamless access to rides, food delivery, grocery orders, remittances, home services, and more through a single platform.
The launch, announced on February 2, 2026, from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, represents a major expansion for both companies. For Careem, it means reaching millions of new potential customers who rely on Huawei devices for their daily needs. For Huawei, the partnership reinforces its commitment to building a robust digital ecosystem across the Middle East and Africa.
Strategic Partnership Benefits for Users
The Careem Huawei AppGallery integration offers users across 10 markets—including the UAE, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia—direct access to download and use Careem’s services. Unlike emulator-based workarounds that drain battery life, this official integration provides enhanced performance, better map accuracy through Petal Maps integration, and improved payment security.
“We’ve been simplifying life for millions in the region for over a decade, and we’re thrilled to now extend this experience to Huawei users through AppGallery. This partnership will make it easier for Huawei users to access the everyday services so many rely on through the Careem Everything App.”
Bassel Alnahlaoui, Chief Business Officer at Careem
Huawei AppGallery serves over 580 million monthly active users worldwide and operates in more than 170 countries and regions. As a core component of Huawei Mobile Services (HMS), it delivers a secure, open ecosystem that connects developers and consumers while maintaining strict privacy and security standards.
Expanding Digital Services Across the Region
The collaboration addresses a critical need for GCC travelers and residents who depend on Huawei smartphones and wearables for their daily mobility requirements. With Huawei devices widely adopted across the Middle East, this partnership significantly strengthens Careem’s market presence and accessibility.
“Our partnership with Careem reflects Huawei’s commitment to expanding meaningful, user-first experiences across our ecosystem. By bringing the Careem app to AppGallery and deepening its integration across Huawei Mobile Services devices, we’re creating more intuitive and convenient access to the services people rely on every day across the region.”
William Hu, Managing Director, Huawei Consumer Business Group, Middle East and Africa Eco-Development and Operation
Future Innovations and Smartwatch Integration
Looking ahead, both companies plan to deepen their collaboration with exciting new features. Upcoming developments include enhanced integration with Huawei smartwatches, allowing users to book and track Careem services directly from their wearable devices. This hands-free convenience will particularly benefit users on the move.
Additionally, Huawei’s Atomic Services technology will deliver more seamless experiences across the Huawei ecosystem, especially benefiting international travelers who need quick, frictionless access to transportation and delivery services.
