The DubaiNow smart application has surpassed the 1-million users milestone, facilitating over 20 million transactions across various government and private entities.

The app currently offers access to 130 services related to 30 different entities.

Since its launch, more than 20 million transactions worth over AED 10 billion have been completed, including 4 million transactions worth AED 2 billion this year.

Dubai's Crown Prince His Highness Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said the demand for the DubaiNow application translates Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid's vision of digitizing life in Dubai and transforming it into the best city in the world in terms of ease of life.

He added that it also confirms the success of the Dubai government in providing smart, easy and fast services to all segments of society.

"The collaboration between various government entities had played a key role in the continuous development of the app, which has become an integral part of residents' daily life," explained Hamad Obaid Al Mansoori, Director General of Dubai Digital Authority.
