The Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) has launched 'A Dubai Invite', a city ambassador programme granting UAE residents travel and hospitality rewards valued at over Dhs 3,000 when hosting overseas visitors.
If you live in Dubai and plan to host family or friends this year, registering your guests lets you unlock complimentary hotel stays, restaurant discounts, and attraction passes across the city.To qualify, UAE residents and citizens aged 18 or older with a valid Emirates ID must register the details of their incoming guests via the official online nomination form before arrival. Visiting friends or family must arrive in Dubai between 20 July and 31 October 2026 via air, sea, or land on a valid tourist visa or visa-on-arrival.
Visitor arrivals are verified automatically upon entry into the emirate. Nominating residents then receive a reward email containing voucher packages redeemable up to 31 December 2026.
Participating partners include W Dubai Mina Seyahi, The Westin Dubai, Le Méridien Mina Seyahi, Meliá Desert Palm, IHG Hotels and Resorts, Careem, and Hala. Residents may submit up to five nominations per form and earn up to three separate reward packages throughout the campaign.
