Abstract The COVID-19 pandemic has significantly disrupted global logistics networks, presenting both challenges and opportunities for economies worldwide. The United Arab Emirates (UAE), a key international trade hub, faced a series of logistical disruptions caused by supply chain bottlenecks, labor shortages, and increased transportation costs. This article provides an in- depth analysis of the impact of COVID-19 on the logistics sector in the UAE, including disruptions to supply chains, changes in transportation methods, and the resultant modifications in logistics strategies. The UAE government and corporate entities undertook multiple interventions to adapt, focusing on digital transformation and collaboration to sustain essential supply chains. This study also presents recommendations for future resilience in logistics, emphasizing the importance of building diversified and adaptable logistics networks. The findings of this case study highlight critical lessons learned, including the role of technology and resilience planning in mitigating the effects of future global disruptions
