In the UAE, the lack of fire alarm systems in villas has contributed to delays in fire detection, resulting in loss of life and property. The Civil Defense is often informed about fires manually, only after they have spread extensively and become visible, making it too late to save lives or prevent significant damage.
Hassantuk for Homes, provided by Etisalat by e&, offers a unique and comprehensive solution to these challenges by ensuring automated early detection and faster response. Consequently, the UAE Cabinet has mandated the installation of Hassantuk systems in all existing and under-construction residential villas from January 1, 2024.
Hassantuk for Homes now covers more than 50,000 villas in the UAE and has successfully detected more than 400 fires. Orders for Hassantuk can be conveniently placed online at the web portal https://home.moi.gov.ae
Here's how Hassantuk addresses these challenges
Local Alarms Inside Villas: Hassantuk install smoke detectors in every room and heat detectors in the kitchen. If smoke levels exceed the thresholds specified by the Civil Defense, an immediate local alarm is triggered. The 'One Go All Go' functionality ensures that every detector in the villa sounds simultaneously, alerting occupants instantly and enabling them to take corrective action.
24/7 Monitoring: Each detector in every villa is connected to the Hassantuk Signal Receiving Center via Etisalat’s IoT solution. This enables fully automatic real-time alerts to be sent to the centre whenever any detector is triggered, even if nobody is inside the villa. Highly trained operators validate these alerts by contacting the registered emergency contacts for the villa. If the alert is confirmed, or if communication cannot be established, the alert is forwarded to the Civil Defence dashboard, providing accurate information about the villa’s location and the affected sensor.
Emergency Response: With validated alerts and precise location information, the Civil Defence can respond swiftly and effectively. This ensures a targeted approach to extinguishing fires and saving lives.
Hassantuk offers several unique features and capabilities that distinguish it from other fire safety systems:
Wired and Wireless Systems: Hassantuk provides both wired and wireless fire safety systems to cater to the varying needs of different villas and construction stages.
Mobile App: The Hassantuk mobile app enables users to monitor their fire safety system in real-time. Users can check battery levels, tamper status, and more, offering complete visibility and peace of mind.
Approved, Certified Equipment: Hassantuk uses fire safety equipment certified and approved by world-class providers, meeting the highest quality and safety standards set by the Civil Defence.
Convenient Monthly Plans: Hassantuk offers flexible monthly payment plans, which can be integrated with Etisalat bills, making it easier for customers to access this essential service.
Bukhoor Mode: Hassantuk is the only fire alarm system that offers a temporary silencing option specifically for Bukhoor or incense burning, ensuring a hassle-free experience for users.
End-to-End Service: Hassantuk provides comprehensive service including convenient online ordering, scheduled installation, system testing and provisioning, 24/7 monitoring, field maintenance, customer support, and billing.
Sponsorships and Developer Support: Hassantuk facilitates bulk orders for sponsors and developers to equip their villas with the system, ensuring fire safety before handover.
Automated Maintenance: Equipped with an Etisalat SIM, Hassantuk systems automatically monitor performance and raise alerts for issues such as a low battery in a detector, loss of connectivity, or impaired detector performance due to dust.
Five-Year Warranty: Hassantuk offers a 5-year warranty. Their field teams undertake corrective actions, including physical visits as required, to rectify any issues with the devices in the system.
Unlike other fire safety systems, Hassantuk is fully connected, monitored, and integrated with Civil Defence, providing a significant advantage to ensure the system is functional and no alerts are missed even if there is nobody inside the villa. Additionally, Hassantuk offers the convenience of a mobile app, convenient monthly plans, and advanced equipment, ensuring the highest level of safety for your villa.
Installing, using, and maintaining Hassantuk is incredibly easy. Customers can order the system through the Hassantuk web portal, choose a plan, and schedule installation at their convenience. The installation process is typically completed in under an hour. Should customers encounter any problems, a dedicated helpline is available at 80022220 for prompt assistance.
As we continue to innovate, the future enhancements for Hassantuk include advanced features like remote silencing, smart home integration, and AI-powered preventive maintenance. These advancements will further enhance the fire prevention and detection capabilities of Hassantuk, ensuring the utmost safety for your villa.

Subj: Accelerating in the Middle East
Five years ago, Uber launched in the Middle East. It was the start of an incredible journey, with millions of riders and drivers finding new ways to move and work in a dynamic region that’s become so important to Uber. Now Pakistan is one of our fastest-growing markets in the world, women are driving with Uber across Saudi Arabia, and we chose Cairo to launch our first Uber Bus product late last year.
Today we are taking the next step in this journey—well, it’s more like a leap, and a big one: in a few minutes, we’ll announce that we’ve agreed to acquire Careem. Importantly, we intend to operate Careem independently, under the leadership of co-founder and current CEO Mudassir Sheikha. I’ve gotten to know both co-founders, Mudassir and Magnus Olsson, and what they have built is truly extraordinary. They are first-class entrepreneurs who share our platform vision and, like us, have launched a wide range of products—from digital payments to food delivery—to serve consumers.
I expect many of you will ask how we arrived at this structure, meaning allowing Careem to maintain an independent brand and operate separately. After careful consideration, we decided that this framework has the advantage of letting us build new products and try new ideas across not one, but two, strong brands, with strong operators within each. Over time, by integrating parts of our networks, we can operate more efficiently, achieve even lower wait times, expand new products like high-capacity vehicles and payments, and quicken the already remarkable pace of innovation in the region.
This acquisition is subject to regulatory approval in various countries, which we don’t expect before Q1 2020. Until then, nothing changes. And since both companies will continue to largely operate separately after the acquisition, very little will change in either teams’ day-to-day operations post-close. Today’s news is a testament to the incredible business our team has worked so hard to build.
It’s a great day for the Middle East, for the region’s thriving tech sector, for Careem, and for Uber.
Uber on,
Dara

Salah in numbers
€39 million: Liverpool agreed a fee, including add-ons, in the region of €39m (nearly Dh176m) to sign Salah from Roma last year. The exchange rate at the time meant that cost the Reds £34.3m - a bargain given his performances since.
13: The 25-year-old player was not a complete stranger to the Premier League when he arrived at Liverpool this summer. However, during his previous stint at Chelsea, he made just 13 Premier League appearances, seven of which were off the bench, and scored only twice.
57: It was in the 57th minute of his Liverpool bow when Salah opened his account for the Reds in the 3-3 draw with Watford back in August. The Egyptian prodded the ball over the line from close range after latching onto Roberto Firmino's attempted lob.
7: Salah's best scoring streak of the season occurred between an FA Cup tie against West Brom on January 27 and a Premier League win over Newcastle on March 3. He scored for seven games running in all competitions and struck twice against Tottenham.
3: This season Salah became the first player in Premier League history to win the player of the month award three times during a term. He was voted as the division's best player in November, February and March.
40: Salah joined Roger Hunt and Ian Rush as the only players in Liverpool's history to have scored 40 times in a single season when he headed home against Bournemouth at Anfield earlier this month.
30: The goal against Bournemouth ensured the Egyptian achieved another milestone in becoming the first African player to score 30 times across one Premier League campaign.
8: As well as his fine form in England, Salah has also scored eight times in the tournament phase of this season's Champions League. Only Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo, with 15 to his credit, has found the net more often in the group stages and knockout rounds of Europe's premier club competition.
