The service providers are all locally based, Amazon said in the statement, noting that Amazon Home Services will be available in Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah at launch.

With the coronavirus pandemic still ongoing, the company also said that safety is a priority for customers.

“Amazon rolled out robust health and safety guidelines for all Amazon Home Services providers. In addition to standard health and safety best practice measures, these guidelines also comply with COVID-19 related recommendations from authorities such as the Ministry of Health and Prevention, the Department of Economic Development in the UAE, and the World Health Organization (WHO),” the statement read.
