The municipality ensures that all facilities, personnel, and sanitation measures are ready to meet seasonal demand.
Abu Dhabi’s municipal authorities have intensified preparations ahead of the busy Ramadan season, confirming that abattoirs across the capital are fully equipped to meet rising demand while upholding strict health and safety standards.
The Abu Dhabi City Municipality stated that a range of operational and preventive measures have been implemented at major facilities, including the automated slaughterhouse at Abu Dhabi Port, as well as the Bani Yas, Al Shahama, and Al Wathba abattoirs. The measures come in anticipation of the usual surge in meat processing and home delivery requests during Ramadan.
The Municipality emphasized that public health remains a top priority. The Department of Public Health has been conducting awareness sessions for workers to reinforce safety practices and customer service during peak periods. These sessions also address managing work pressure during Ramadan and strengthening hygiene procedures to protect both staff and consumers.

Maintenance work has been completed across all equipment and facilities, and additional skilled butchers have been deployed to support operations. Veterinary teams are also in place to conduct thorough inspections of livestock before and after slaughter, ensuring that all meat complies with approved safety and quality standards.
To reduce waiting times and enhance convenience, the municipality has encouraged residents to use approved smart applications that allow customers to order, process, and receive slaughtered meat at home within three hours. These platforms include Al Jazeera Al Khadra, Zabayeh Al Jazeera, Zabayeh Al Emarat, Thabihaty, and Halal Mazare’na.
Special services will continue for senior citizens and people of determination, allowing them to complete procedures without leaving their vehicles. The municipality said this initiative aims to make the process more accessible and comfortable for all.
The Municipality also reiterated its warning against using unlicensed mobile butchers or carrying out slaughter at homes, streets, or public areas, citing serious health and environmental risks. Such practices may result in legal action, fines, and confiscation of livestock, as part of efforts to protect public health and ensure community safety.
