How Pakistani Expats Can Earn 3,000 Dirham By Inviting Their Friends and Family to Dubai

Dubai has launched a new tourism initiative offering hotel discounts, dining deals and attraction benefits worth more than Dh3,000 to Dubai residents, including Pakistanis, who invite family members or friends to visit the emirate.

Under the campaign, residents can nominate visiting relatives or friends free of charge. Once the visitor arrives in Dubai and the trip is verified, the host receives a discount package that includes hotel stays, restaurant offers and leisure experiences.

The program will remain open until October 31, and eligible residents can nominate up to five visitors at one time. The rewards can be used until December 31, 2026, although some offers may carry different validity periods.

To qualify, residents must complete an online nomination form and provide their Emirates ID details, date of birth, gender and email address. They must then enter the visitor’s full name, passport number, nationality, date of birth, gender, relationship with the resident and expected arrival month.

The campaign is open to UAE citizens and residents aged 18 and above who hold a valid Emirates ID. Visitors must be non-UAE residents and enter Dubai on a valid tourist visa or through visa-on-arrival eligibility. They must arrive between July 20 and October 31, 2026.

Residents may submit multiple nominations, but only five can be filed at a time. Each visitor can be nominated only once during the campaign. Authorities will verify arrivals automatically, after which eligible residents will receive an email with details of their benefit package.

The initiative does not include visa assistance. Visitors will have to arrange their own flights, visas, accommodation and other travel expenses.

The reward package includes hotel offers, dining discounts, attraction experiences and other leisure deals from selected tourism partners, subject to availability and campaign terms.

Dubai remains one of the world’s top tourism destinations, welcoming millions of visitors each year. Authorities hope the new campaign will encourage residents to bring more guests to the emirate and support the tourism sector.
