Al Karama does not have one verified district-wide postal code shared by every property. If an online form requires a numeric postal or ZIP value, 00000 may be accepted where that system allows it, but it is not an officially assigned Karama postcode.
Al Karama is officially identified as Dubai Community 318, while property locations, postal recipients, and delivery addresses use different information depending on the task.
Current authoritative research does not establish one postal or ZIP code assigned across the entire Al Karama community. Searches for a Karama postal code, ZIP code, postcode, or PIN code generally express the same underlying need rather than referring to separate locality codes.
Karama does have structured address information, but its municipal, property-level, postal, and form identifiers serve different functions. A valid number in one part of the address system should therefore not automatically be used for another.
A required postal-code field can be a technical requirement of the website rather than a reflection of Al Karama’s local addressing system.
| Situation | What You Need | Correct Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| Required numeric postal or ZIP field | Complete form validation | Use 00000 only where that system accepts it |
| Courier or home delivery | Identify the physical destination | Provide property and contact details |
| Precise building or entrance | Identify the exact location | Use the applicable Makani information |
| Postal correspondence | Identify the postal recipient | Use the recipient’s applicable postal details |
The key rule is that form acceptance is not official postal assignment. A system may accept 00000 because its software requires a numeric value, but that does not make it part of the actual Karama address.
If a particular website rejects the placeholder or applies its own validation rules, see what to enter when a UAE postal-code field is required.
Al Karama’s official Dubai community number is 318.
| Attribute | Al Karama |
|---|---|
| Community | Al Karama |
| Arabic name | الكرامة |
| Emirate | Dubai |
| Community number | 318 |
| Is 318 a postal code? | No |
Al Karama is listed as Community 318 in Dubai’s official community data.
The number identifies the municipal community rather than a postal-routing area. Entering 318 into a postcode field would therefore use a valid community identifier for the wrong function.
Numbers connected with a Karama address should be classified by what they identify, not simply by their format.
| Identifier | What It Identifies | Scope | Karama Postcode? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Postal code | Postal or address-routing area where officially assigned | Postal area | Only where officially assigned |
| Community 318 | Al Karama municipal community | Community | No |
| Makani | Precise property or entrance | Property/location | No |
| P.O. Box | Postal subscriber or postal address | Recipient | No |
| 00000 | Possible technical form placeholder | Form/software | No |
| Postal-facility identifier | Postal facility or service | Facility | No |
| Unverified third-party number | Claimed identifier without authoritative assignment | Unverified | No verified basis |
Two numbers can appear in information connected with Karama while describing completely different entities or address functions.
Makani works at a more precise geographic level than the community number. It can identify a particular property or entrance, and a building with multiple entrances may have more than one relevant Makani identifier.
There is no single Makani number for all of Al Karama. To identify a particular destination, find the relevant Makani information for that property or entrance.
A P.O. Box applies to a particular postal subscriber or postal arrangement.
A number shown in the address of a Karama business, resident, or government entity therefore applies to that recipient rather than to surrounding properties.
A real Al Karama destination is identified through a combination of property and recipient details rather than one locality-wide number.
Depending on the task, those details can include:
For physical delivery, the carrier needs enough information to locate the actual property. Postal correspondence may additionally require information linked to the recipient’s postal arrangement.
Dubai Central Laboratory provides a useful first-party example. Dubai Municipality identifies the laboratory as being located in Al Karama, while its official postal information includes P.O. Box 67, Dubai.
These details describe different parts of the address:
The number 67 therefore applies to that organization. It should not be copied into another Karama address.
No. The existence of a postal facility in or associated with Karama does not create a postcode for the surrounding community.
Search results and local directories may use names such as Karama Post Office, Dubai Central, Dubai Central Post Office, or NXN Karama. These can refer to postal facilities or service locations, but a facility and the geographic community it serves are different entities.
Any identifier associated with a postal facility must therefore be interpreted according to that facility’s purpose rather than applied automatically to nearby homes, shops, or offices.
This helps explain why different numbers appear online when users search for a Karama postcode.
Several third-party sources associate different numbers with Al Karama, but their appearance in search results does not establish them as locality-wide postal codes.
| Number | Common Secondary Claim | Evidence-Based Treatment |
|---|---|---|
| 500001 | Karama postal code | No authoritative UAE or Dubai Karama assignment found |
| 111311 | Karama postcode or post-office code | Appears in postal/address contexts but is not verified as a Karama-wide postcode |
| 6009 | Karama post-office or P.O. Box information | Secondary association does not establish a postcode for Al Karama |
No authoritative UAE or Dubai source identified in the research assigns 500001 as a postcode covering Al Karama.
The number appears in third-party postcode tables and also has an official postal use outside the UAE. Without authoritative local assignment, it should not be treated as a Karama-wide code.
111311 appears in some secondary UAE postal and address contexts, but current authoritative research does not establish it as a postcode assigned across Al Karama.
Any verified relationship to a particular organization or postal facility would apply to that specific entity rather than automatically to the wider community.
Some secondary sources associate 6009 with Karama postal-facility or P.O. Box information. That association alone does not establish it as an Al Karama postcode.
Physical addressing and postal handling solve different tasks.
Property information tells a carrier where the destination is. The recipient’s postal arrangement determines how postal correspondence reaches that recipient.
Depending on the Emirates Post service in use, incoming mail may involve a P.O. Box or a service that delivers received items to the subscriber’s home. Karama residents should therefore not assume that every postal item must be collected from one local postal facility.
No. It forms part of a specific recipient’s postal arrangement rather than identifying Al Karama as a postal zone.
Yes, depending on the service selected. Emirates Post offers personal postal arrangements that can include delivery of incoming mail to the subscriber’s residential address.
If you need to establish your own postal arrangement, see the available personal postal box and home-delivery options.
Write an Al Karama address around the actual destination.
A practical structure is:
Recipient Name
Apartment / Office / Unit
Building
Street or Road
Al Karama
Dubai, United Arab Emirates
Makani where relevant
P.O. Box where applicable
Contact Number where required
The exact combination depends on the purpose. A courier may rely primarily on the unit, building, road, precise location information, and contact details. Postal correspondence may additionally include the recipient’s assigned postal information.
Do not automatically add:
Postal Code: 00000
to the real-world address. Use that value only in a technical postal-code field where the system accepts it.
For documents requiring a fuller field-by-field structure, use the appropriate UAE address format.
No. 318 is Al Karama’s Dubai community number, not a postal code.
“PIN code” is another term some users apply when searching for postal or ZIP information. It does not refer to a separate locality-wide identifier assigned to Al Karama.
Choose the information according to the task. Use property-level details for a physical destination, recipient-specific postal information for mail, and a technical placeholder only when a form requires and accepts one. Community 318 identifies Al Karama itself, while numbers from unverified postcode lists should not replace the address information required for the actual destination.
