What is Postal Code Abu Dhabi?

Postal codes, also known as zip codes, are used to identify a specific area in an international country or city. They usually consist of a sequence of 5 or 6 numbers. They are used to collect and sort mail, and for delivering goods to your home.

How can I get a zip code for my address in Abu Dhabi?

Many people are confused when it comes to zip codes in UAE or any other area. In order to get a zip code, you have to know your exact address.

However, in Dubai, the postal service does not use a zip code system and they are not allowed to send you mail using that format. In addition, couriers are not required to provide your zip code, so they can deliver the parcel directly to your home or office.

So, you can use 00000 in place of a zip code or postcode whenever you are asked for it. This will not impact your delivery, and you will not be charged extra for it.

If you need to get a postcode for your address in UAE, ask the courier for a Makani number (if they can find one). This can be a building name or GIS locator.

Alternatively, you can get a PO Box from Emirates Post for AED 300 per year. This will allow you to receive mail through a dedicated post box in all central post offices in the UAE.
