AGM of Levant, Sabri Hakim, believes that Careem has adjusted to their customers' satisfaction in multiple ways; switching from paying with only cash to booking and paying for the rides on the application was one of them. Because of its constant adjustments to satisfy its customers, Careem experiences a 30 percent growth every month.
"An interesting aspect about Careem in Lebanon is that it was introduced with a small number of employees, however, today, one of our main objectives is to create jobs, and bring investment into the country. Hence, our new on-ground team in Lebanon and thousands of registered captains, which number is also growing by the day" said Hakim.
