Muscat: Careem, the Dubai-based ride-hailing app acquired is suspending its operations in Oman starting next month, the company said on Wednesday.

“We need to let you know that from Monday, February 3, 2020, we will no longer be running our service in Oman.”

“The company decided to discontinue operating in Oman due to the absence of the regulatory factors that provide us with a healthy investment environment,” the company said on its official Twitter account in response to a query from a user.

Careem entered the Oman market in October 2018 in partnership with Marhaba Taxi. Careem currently operates in 15 countries.
