Aramex launched its uplifting Ramadan campaign, ‘Share the Light,’ inspiring communities to embrace unity, kindness, and joy this Holy Month.
The campaign resonates across cultures and borders, earning over 10 million views on Aramex’s social media in five days.
The campaign centers around the lighthearted short film, “Between Two Alleys,” a beautifully crafted story capturing the essence of Ramadan.
The video follows two elderly neighbors in a timeless Middle Eastern city, preparing for Ramadan by stringing festive lights.
However, from the first seconds a rivalry becomes clear and starts building up. As the lights intertwine, so do their stories.
The two men compete over who does a better job in decorating their respective alleys.
As the competition nears its climax, the two realize they worked together to create a beautifully decorated neighborhood.
The story gently reveals that they belong to different faiths yet come together to celebrate the shared traditions of the season.
The campaign highlights Aramex’s belief that Ramadan bridges differences, fosters togetherness, and illuminates the world with acts of goodwill.
Aramex’s creative team conceptualized the whimsical yet heartwarming campaign in-house.
Mike Rich, Group CMO at Aramex, said: “Ramadan carries a message that transcends borders; a message of peace, reassurance, and hope. At Aramex, our purpose goes beyond logistics; we are committed to ‘Delivering Good’ and strengthening the communities we serve. The overwhelming response to ‘Share the Light’ reaffirms the power of simple, meaningful gestures in bringing people together. We are delighted that once again our attempt to bring people together during a special time of the year has been warmly embraced by the communities we serve.”

This campaign highlights Aramex’s commitment to corporate social responsibility and its efforts to build a sustainable, connected world.

Aramex, a leading global logistics and transportation solutions provider, has taken a significant step towards decarbonizing logistics in the oil and gas sector, launching its first commercial deployment of electric trucks and charging solutions in the UAE.
Partnering with the UAE-based Admiral Mobility, Aramex has introduced a fleet of eight-ton Farizon electric trucks, powered by a 162kwh battery, tested and certified for operations in the UAE and KSA.
The initiative aligns with Aramex’s strategy to pioneer sustainable logistics solutions for its clients, reducing the environmental impact of industrial supply chains. The electric trucks will support Aramex’s oil and gas clients by providing efficient, eco-friendly transportation options, driving the logistics leader’s commitment to carbon neutrality by 2030 and net-zero emissions by 2050.
A special event marked the successful launch of the electric trucks, with teams from both Aramex and Admiral Mobility celebrating the milestone.

The partnership with Admiral Mobility advances our ambitions of increasing efficiency, lowering energy consumption and material use, as well as improving our environmental footprint. We look forward to accelerating our net-zero ambitions and offering customers greener, cleaner logistics solutions.”
Graham Bremer, General Manager, Admiral Mobility, said: “We are proud to be working with Aramex and assisting them on their drive to more sustainable logistics. The deployment of these electric trucks will enable further understanding of operating commercial EV which will help Aramex on transitioning their fleet to EV.
