Dubai Rolls Out 'A Dubai Invite' Initiative
In Dubai, a new initiative called “A Dubai Invite” has been launched, aiming to encourage residents to become ambassadors of the city. This program, developed by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET), provides residents with a simple and rewarding way to welcome their loved ones to Dubai and create memorable experiences together. The initiative is running until October 31, 2026, and offers a selection of benefits from participating hotels, attractions, restaurants, and lifestyle destinations across the city.
For residents to access these benefits, they must register their guests through the official program platform by September 30, 2026. Visitor arrivals will then be confirmed through a unified verification process supported by the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA – Dubai). Once verified, residents can unlock up to three verified benefits across the period, receiving one benefit per guest party. These benefits can include discounts and privileges at various attractions and establishments, making the experience of hosting loved ones in Dubai even more enjoyable and rewarding.
The “A Dubai Invite” initiative is part of Dubai’s efforts to boost tourism and align with the UAE’s Year of Family by leveraging personal connections for travel decisions. By encouraging residents to invite their family and friends to experience the city, Dubai aims to showcase its hospitality and the wide range of experiences it offers to visitors. This initiative not only benefits the residents who participate but also contributes to the city’s vibrant tourism scene, highlighting Dubai as a destination that values community and personal connections.
The program’s focus on community and the rewards it offers to residents who invite their loved ones to Dubai highlight the city’s commitment to making every visitor’s experience memorable. With its diverse range of attractions, restaurants, and lifestyle destinations, Dubai is poised to welcome even more visitors, thanks to the enthusiasm and ambassadorship of its residents. As the “A Dubai Invite” initiative continues until the end of October, residents have a unique opportunity to share their love for Dubai with their family and friends, creating lasting memories and contributing to the city’s thriving tourism industry.
