Al Dhaid Livestock Market prepares for Eid Al-Adha
Talal Mohammed, Director of Central Region Markets, stated that the market is fully prepared to serve residents and visitors during Eid al-Adha through an integrated operational plan focused on service quality and efficiency. A dedicated team of veterinarians, inspectors, and qualified technicians will ensure the safety of sacrificial animals and the quality of operations within the market.
Customer flow and services
Mohammed emphasised the importance of implementing effective organisational measures to facilitate customer movement and enhance service efficiency, thereby increasing customer satisfaction.
The market has designated two customer pathways: the green lane for customers transporting animals in their vehicles, allowing them to enter directly, pay the required fees, and receive a receipt and sequential numbers for their animals before heading to the slaughterhouse. Vehicles must be parked outside the market, where special parking is provided. The yellow line pathway is for customers purchasing animals, who will go to the nearby cashier, pay the fees, receive a receipt, and wait in a designated hospitality tent.
Operating hours during Eid Al-Adha
The slaughterhouse will operate on Arafah Day from 6 AM to 12 PM and from 4 PM to 6 PM. On the first day of Eid, the market will open from 6:30 AM to 2:30 PM, and on the second and third days, from 6 AM to 2 PM. Priority will be given to the slaughter of sheep and goats on the first day, with cattle and camels to be slaughtered after 11:30 AM. Commercial orders will be accepted starting at 10:30 AM on the third day.
It is worth noting that the livestock market in Al Dhaid is one of the projects of Sharjah Asset Management, the investment arm of the Emirate of Sharjah.
