Residents of Dubai now have a new way to earn extra income thanks to Amazon’s latest delivery programme. The company has launched an “on-foot delivery” service in partnership with the Dubai Future Foundation under the Sandbox Dubai initiative.
The programme, announced on August 27, gives both individuals and small business owners the chance to join the gig economy by delivering packages on foot within busy neighbourhoods and crowded areas. This means that people can take part-time delivery work without needing a car or bike.
The idea is designed to create flexible earning opportunities for residents while also helping the city in other ways. By reducing the use of vehicles, the programme can ease traffic congestion and cut down on pollution. This supports Dubai’s wider sustainability goals and shows how the city is working toward greener, smarter ways of living.
At the same time, on-foot delivery is expected to make last-mile deliveries faster and more efficient. It reflects Dubai’s focus on innovation, new income opportunities, and building modern solutions for urban challenges.
