POST OFFICES IN ABU DHABI: AN OVERVIEW

Postal services in the UAE started in 1972 with the establishment of the General Directorate of Postal Services under the Ministry of Communications. The Emirates Post Group, on the other hand, is a more recent addition which came into existence in 2007.

Over the years, this postal service has built a strong reputation and continues to offer world-class services to UAE residents through its subsidiaries: Empost, EDC and Wall Street Exchange.
