Dubai Rewards Residents With Dh3,000 for Inviting Family and Friends to Visit

Dubai has launched "A Dubai Invite," a new programme that rewards UAE residents and citizens who encourage friends and family from overseas to visit the emirate. Residents whose guests arrive between July 20 and October 31 can unlock more than Dh3,000 worth of benefits, including hotel stays, dining experiences, attraction tickets and lifestyle offers. To take part, residents must register their visitors online before they arrive, with rewards remaining valid until December 31, 2026.

The scheme is open to UAE residents and citizens aged 18 and over with a valid Emirates ID, while visitors must travel on a tourist visa or be eligible for a visa on arrival. Participants can nominate up to five visitors at a time, with rewards activated once their guests' arrival is verified. Participating brands include W Dubai Mina Seyahi, The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi, Le Méridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Waterpark, IHG Hotels & Resorts, Careem and Hala, with the initiative aiming to boost tourism by encouraging residents to showcase Dubai to their loved ones.
