Dubai RTA has signed a partnership agreement with Majid Al Futtaim. Together, they will soon be installing three air-to-water dispensers at the delivery rider’s rest areas. While this is going to be done under Phase 1 of this project, soon it will be extended to other locations as well. In case you’re wondering, the air-to-water dispensers use innovative technology. Yes, they harness the atmospheric humidity to produce potable water. At a temperature of 30°C and with 65% humidity, these dispensers can generate as much as 100 litres of drinking water every day.

As it happens, the Dubai RTA is planning to construct 40 air-conditioner rest areas for delivery riders. Yes, they aim to regulate and enhance the safety of the rapidly growing delivery sector, thereby also improving the well-being of these drivers.
At this point, several rest areas have already been completed and others are already scheduled for construction in three phases.
