Strong Demand for A Dubai Invite as Applications Reach 20,000 and Capacity Triples

Around 20,000 applicants have benefited from the “A Dubai Invite” program since its launch on July 20, amid strong demand for the initiative. The high level of interest has prompted the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism to triple the program’s capacity, as the registration deadline approaches in the coming days.

Strong Demand for the “A Dubai Invite” Program

In this context, Nour Al Jazairi, Assistant Vice President for the Middle East and North Africa and Special Projects at the Department, affirmed that the strong demand reflects the influential role Dubai residents play in sharing the city’s positive experiences with others. She also noted that productive cooperation with partners has effectively contributed to increasing the initiative’s capacity threefold.

The level of interest recorded since the program’s launch also highlights residents’ enthusiasm for the initiative and their role in introducing family members and friends to the wide range of destinations and experiences Dubai has to offer.

Residents Encouraged to Register Before Packages Run Out

The Department urged all residents to complete their registration as soon as possible before the remaining packages are fully booked, while reaffirming its continued efforts, in cooperation with partners, to expand the range of exceptional benefits offered through the program.

The move comes amid growing demand for the initiative, which gives Dubai residents the opportunity to invite family members and friends to visit the emirate and benefit from a selection of offers and advantages designed to enhance the visitor experience.

Dubai Residents as Ambassadors for the City

The program aims to empower Dubai’s residents, who represent nearly 200 different nationalities, to serve as ambassadors for the city and help introduce visitors to its diverse destinations and experiences.

It also gives residents the opportunity to invite family members and friends to visit the emirate and enjoy a range of exclusive offers across several sectors, reflecting the diversity of Dubai’s tourism and lifestyle experiences.

Guest Registration Continues Until the End of October 2026

The “A Dubai Invite” program continues to accept registration requests for guests of Dubai residents whose visits to the emirate fall between July 20 and October 31, 2026, subject to completion of all required verification procedures.

The continued registration period gives residents another opportunity to invite relatives and friends to benefit from the program during their stay in Dubai.

Offers Across Hotels, Restaurants, and Entertainment Destinations

The initiative provides beneficiaries with a broad selection of offers covering hotels, restaurants, entertainment destinations, and lifestyle venues across the emirate.

Beneficiaries can also use the vouchers and promotional offers available through the program until December 31, giving visitors more time to enjoy the wide range of benefits and experiences available across Dubai.

The strong response to “A Dubai Invite” reflects the initiative’s success in encouraging residents to share the city’s experiences with others while supporting Dubai’s position as an attractive destination for visitors from around the world.
