Dubai Police Boost Fleet With All-New Volkswagen Amarok
The delivery of the high-tech new vehicle comes from long-term partner Al Nabooda Automobiles, Dubai’s official VW distributor.
Al Nabooda Automobiles LLC, the officially authorized distributor for Volkswagen in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, has formally delivered the all-new Volkswagen Amarok to the Dubai Police fleet. Featuring a comprehensive redesign, robust performance, and off-road capabilities, the new Amarok is poised to support officers in ensuring safe travel for motorists throughout Dubai.
Al Nabooda Automobiles has maintained a longstanding partnership with Dubai Police, supplying the fleet with cutting-edge vehicles renowned for their performance, dependability, and versatility.
H.E. Lieutenant General Abdulla Khalifa Al Marri, Commander-in-Chief of Dubai Police, affirmed the General Command’s dedication to outfitting the tourist security patrol fleet with the latest luxury models:
“We are delighted to cooperate with Al Nabooda Automobiles, a longstanding national company deeply committed to initiatives that positively enhance Dubai’s image and its position as a top destination for living, working, tourism, and investment. We are confident that these cars will contribute to enhancing both the traffic and security sectors, thereby supporting police operations and achieving the strategic goals of maintaining road safety and community security,” His Excellency explained.
Dubai Police hopes that the new Volkswagen vehicles will not only bolster the security presence of the tourist police but also facilitate engagement with tourists, visitors, and the public.

With its exceptional on-road and off-road capabilities, the Amarok is a reliable asset for the Dubai force. The vehicle features an impressive towing capacity of up to 3,500 kg and a maximum payload of 1.19 tonnes. Equipped with advanced 4MOTION all-wheel-drive technology and a differential lock, the Amarok excels in navigating the kinds of harsh terrains often encountered by Dubai Police officers. The adaptable all-wheel-drive system offers four customizable drive modes, ensuring optimal performance on any surface by intelligently distributing power among all four wheels via a multi-plate clutch.
Add in a powerful turbocharged engine, impressive safety features, and a stylish new design, and it’s clear Dubai’s traffic officers will be eager to get behind the wheel of the new Amarok.

LUVED Is A New Curated Preloved Marketplace For The UAE
Sellers keep 100 percent of every sale and AI can build a listing in five seconds — though the app’s smartest tools are still coming.
Secondhand shopping has become mainstream in the UAE, but the experience is still scattered across resale sites, social media and informal group chats. LUVED, a mobile-first marketplace that launched in Dubai this month, is betting it can pull that activity into one place — and that the thing buyers and sellers actually want is not more inventory, but trust.
The app trades in what it calls circular luxury: preloved fashion and lifestyle pieces across men’s, women’s and children’s categories, bought, sold or given away peer to peer. Its main pitch is economics, with sellers keeping 100 percent of every sale under a zero-commission, fast payout model, while buyers are promised vetted pieces at lower prices.
Where LUVED is staking its reputation is verification. Sellers pass a KYC check, and items run through a two-layer authentication system powered by Entrupy that pairs instant AI screening with human expert review for high-value pieces. Authenticity certificates travel with each item, payments sit in escrow, and a buyer-protection package the company calls The Safety Net adds a 48-hour return window and dispute resolution. Door-to-door logistics removes the in-person meetups that make most resale deals awkward.
An in-app assistant called Luvbot — offering selling insights and demand-based recommendations — is soon to be introduced to the platform. Other features include autofill and dynamic pricing that lets users build a listing in as little as five seconds from three photos, plus a swipe-based feed, story-style drops and in-app chat in English and Arabic. Finally, a gifting layer, Luved & Gifted, lets users pass items to others inside the app rather than sell them.

“After moving to Dubai, I saw how difficult it was to sell or even give things away,” says founder and CEO Shaima Sibtain. The friction is real, and so is the competition. In resale, trust is won transaction by transaction — and that is the test LUVED has set itself.
The app is live on the App Store now, with Google Play to follow. The company also plans to expand across the region, which will be the real test for a marketplace staking everything on trust.
