The Resident Reward<\/h2>\r\n <p>The Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) has launched a programme called A Dubai Invite. The idea is simple: invite your loved ones to the city, and when they arrive, you get rewarded. Not with a token discount, you get the benefits worth over AED 3,000 per package, spread across Dubai's best hotels, restaurants and attractions.<\/p>\r\n <p>A Dubai Invite makes you an ambassador for your own city. Instead of a billboard telling \"Habibi Come to Dubai\", it is you, the resident, who does the inviting. And that matters. Around 200 nationalities live here, and almost every one of us has a parent, sibling or friend who has only seen the Burj Khalifa on a screen.<\/p>\r\n <p>Here is the catch. You nominate your guests before they travel. They arrive. You collect a rewards package packed with more than 20 perks. Each package covers hotel stays, dining and attraction tickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"info-box\">\r\n <strong>One thing to be clear about from the start.<\/strong> This is a residents' programme. Your cousin cannot sign up from Manila or Mumbai. The nomination has to come from your side, and it has to happen before they land.\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <h3>Key A Dubai Invite Highlights You Should Not Miss<\/h3>\r\n <div class=\"highlights-grid\">\r\n <div class=\"hl-card\">\r\n <div class=\"hl-icon\">\ud83c\udf81<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-value\">AED 9,000+<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-label\">Up to three reward packages, each worth over AED 3,000 \u2014 total value can stretch past AED 9,000.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-card\">\r\n <div class=\"hl-icon\">\ud83c\udfa2<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-value\">Free Attraction Tickets<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-label\">A full-day pass to Aquaventure World and a free day at IMG Worlds of Adventure, plus 50% off Grand Hyatt Dubai Waterpark.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-card\">\r\n <div class=\"hl-icon\">\ud83c\udfe8<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-value\">Up to 45% Off Hotels<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-label\">Hotel deals up to 45% off, with free nights, room upgrades and full credit back on your spend.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-card\">\r\n <div class=\"hl-icon\">\ud83c\udf7d<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-value\">Dining Deals<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-label\">Two-for-one dining and AED 100 savings at more than ten of Dubai's best-loved restaurants.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-card\">\r\n <div class=\"hl-icon\">\u2705<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-value\">Free to Join<\/div>\r\n <div class=\"hl-label\">Free to join, quick to nominate, verified automatically, and redeemable all the way to 31 December 2026.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n <!-- ===== PANEL: HOW IT WORKS ===== -->\r\n <section class=\"tab-panel\" id=\"panel-how\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-how\">\r\n\r\n <h2>How Does A Dubai Invite Work? 3 Simple Steps to Your Rewards<\/h2>\r\n <p>Three simple steps only.

The form is free, complete in a few minutes, and takes three packages worth over AED 3,000 each.<\/p>\r\n <p>Still deciding whether to invite someone? Be honest about the maths. A lot of the value only unlocks when you spend, like the hotel credits and dining deals. But the attraction tickets are pure, immediate value. Two free theme-park-style days plus a half-price waterpark can be the exact nudge that turns a relative's \"maybe next year\" into a booked flight.<\/p>\r\n\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n <!-- ===== PANEL: KEY DATES ===== -->\r\n <section class=\"tab-panel\" id=\"panel-dates\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-dates\">\r\n\r\n <h2>Key Dates for A Dubai Invite<\/h2>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"tbl-wrap\">\r\n <table>\r\n <thead>\r\n <tr>\r\n <th>Milestone<\/th>\r\n <th>Date<\/th>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <\/thead>\r\n <tbody>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td>Guest arrival window<\/td>\r\n <td>20 July \u2013 31 October 2026<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td>Nomination deadline<\/td>\r\n <td>30 September 2026 (guests can still arrive up to 31 October)<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td>Rewards issued<\/td>\r\n <td>By email, within 72 hours of the guest's verified arrival<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <tr>\r\n <td>Reward validity<\/td>\r\n <td>Usable until 31 December 2026, unless a partner offer states otherwise<\/td>\r\n <\/tr>\r\n <\/tbody>\r\n <\/table>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <\/section>\r\n\r\n <!-- ===== PANEL: FAQs ===== -->\r\n <section class=\"tab-panel\" id=\"panel-faq\" role=\"tabpanel\" aria-labelledby=\"tab-faq\">\r\n\r\n <h2>FAQs<\/h2>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"faq-wrap\">\r\n\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\r\n Who can submit a nomination?\r\n <span class=\"faq-chevron\">\u25bc<\/span>\r\n <\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\">Any citizen or resident of any nationality, aged 18 or over, with a valid Emirates ID, who wants to host friends or relatives from abroad.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\r\n Are there any fees to participate in A Dubai Invite programme?\r\n <span class=\"faq-chevron\">\u25bc<\/span>\r\n <\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\">No, a nomination submission is free.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\r\n Who can I nominate?\r\n <span class=\"faq-chevron\">\u25bc<\/span>\r\n <\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\">Anyone who is not a UAE resident and who will visit Dubai on a valid tourist visa, or is eligible for a visa on arrival, between 20 July and 31 October 2026.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\r\n Can I nominate someone already in the UAE?\r\n <span class=\"faq-chevron\">\u25bc<\/span>\r\n <\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\">No. Only visitors arriving during the campaign period, and after your submission, count.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\r\n Can I nominate a child under this campaign?\r\n <span class=\"faq-chevron\">\u25bc<\/span>\r\n <\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\">Yes, but you must be their parent or legal guardian, or have consent from their parent or guardian to share their details.<\/div>\r\n <\/div>\r\n\r\n <div class=\"faq-item\">\r\n <button class=\"faq-q\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\r\n How many visitors can I nominate?\r\n <span class=\"faq-chevron\">\u25bc<\/span>\r\n <\/button>\r\n <div class=\"faq-a\">Up to five at a time.

UAE residents and citizens aged 18 or over nominate overseas friends or family before they visit between 20 July and 31 October 2026. When a guest arrives, the resident unlocks up to three benefit packages, each worth over AED 3,000, covering hotels, dining and attractions. There is no fee to take part, and benefits are valid until 31 December 2026. Overview How It Works \ud83c\udfa2 Attractions \ud83c\udfe8 Hotels \ud83c\udf7d Dining \ud83d\ude97 Transport Eligibility Key Dates FAQs What Is A Dubai Invite? The Resident Reward The Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) has launched a programme called A Dubai Invite. The idea is simple: invite your loved ones to the city, and when they arrive, you get rewarded. Not with a token discount, you get the benefits worth over AED 3,000 per package, spread across Dubai’s best hotels, restaurants and attractions. A Dubai Invite makes you an ambassador for your own city. Instead of a billboard telling “Habibi Come to Dubai”, it is you, the resident, who does the inviting. And that matters. Around 200 nationalities live here, and almost every one of us has a parent, sibling or friend who has only seen the Burj Khalifa on a screen. Here is the catch. You nominate your guests before they travel. They arrive. You collect a rewards package packed with more than 20 perks. Each package covers hotel stays, dining and attraction tickets. One thing to be clear about from the start. This is a residents’ programme. Your cousin cannot sign up from Manila or Mumbai. The nomination has to come from your side, and it has to happen before they land. Key A Dubai Invite Highlights You Should Not Miss \ud83c\udf81 AED 9,000+ Up to three reward packages, each worth over AED 3,000 \u2014 total value can stretch past AED 9,000. \ud83c\udfa2 Free Attraction Tickets A full-day pass to Aquaventure World and a free day at IMG Worlds of Adventure, plus 50% off Grand Hyatt Dubai Waterpark. \ud83c\udfe8 Up to 45% Off Hotels Hotel deals up to 45% off, with free nights, room upgrades and full credit back on your spend. \ud83c\udf7d Dining Deals Two-for-one dining and AED 100 savings at more than ten of Dubai’s best-loved restaurants. \u2705 Free to Join Free to join, quick to nominate, verified automatically, and redeemable all the way to 31 December 2026.
