Dubai: If you’re looking for a convenient way to arrange for your Eid sacrifice (udhiyah or qurbani), look no further than the DubaiNow app.
Digital Dubai, in partnership with Dar Al Ber Society, launched the ‘Eid Sacrifice – Udhiyah’ service via the DubaiNow app, in 2022. The feature allows users to purchase and pay for the sacrifice in quick, simple steps, and even helps you determine the location where the slaughter and distribution will take place, whether inside or outside Dubai.
We break down the steps to order, below.
How to place an order for Eid sacrifice (udhiyah) on DubaiNow app:

- Navigate to the ‘Services’ tab, head to ‘Islam’ or ‘Donations’ category, and tap on the ‘Eid Sacrifice’ service.
- Select your preference, on how and where you would like the sacrifice to be handled:
