Dubai Invite: Residents Get Over AED 3,000 in Perks for Bringing Visitors
Register a guest before they arrive and unlock more than AED 3,000 in perks. Registration deadline, visit window and the fine print of Dubai’s new resident-referral program.
Dubai has launched "A Dubai Invite", a program that rewards residents for bringing family or friends to the city: anyone who registers a guest receives a perks package worth more than AED 3,000 — discounts across hotels, restaurants and attractions.
How it works
- The guest is registered on Dubai's official tourism portal before arrival, with the arrival date entered at sign-up.
- The visit has to fall between 20 July and 31 October 2026.
- The perks package is emailed to the resident who made the booking.
What not to miss
- Guest registration closes on 30 September 2026.
- A resident can register up to three packages.
- The perks stay valid until 31 December 2026.
- Visa, flights and accommodation are the guest's own cost — the program only covers on-the-ground perks.
If a visit from parents, friends or business partners is already on the calendar, registering takes a few minutes and costs nothing.
