Dubai Invite Offers Over AED 3,000 in Hotel & Dining Deals

Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) has launched 'A Dubai Invite', a campaign that rewards residents who invite friends and family to visit the emirate with more than AED 3,000 worth of hotel, dining and attraction offers.

Running from July 20th to October 31st, 2026, the initiative allows eligible UAE nationals and residents to nominate non-resident visitors through an online form. Once a guest's arrival in Dubai is verified, residents receive a package of exclusive offers that can generally be redeemed until December 31st, 2026.

To participate, applicants must be at least 18 years old and hold a valid Emirates ID. Residents can submit an unlimited number of nominations, although only five can be active at one time, and can receive up to three reward packages throughout the campaign. Visitors must be travelling on a tourist or visit visa and are responsible for arranging and covering their own travel, accommodation and visa costs.

The rewards package includes discounts across a range of hotels, restaurants and attractions. Current offers include 45% off stays at Meliá Desert Palm, along with AED 100 in spa credit per person and AED 100 in food and beverage credit per stay. ME Dubai by Meliá is offering 35% off room rates, complimentary room upgrades, free stays for children under 12, and discounts on dining, spa treatments and laundry services.

Other participating properties include Le Méridien Mina Seyahi Beach Resort & Waterpark, W Dubai Mina Seyahi and The Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi, where guests can receive hotel credit equal to their room spend to use at selected restaurants and spas. Selected InterContinental Hotels Group properties are also offering a third night free when guests book two nights, alongside discounts of up to 30% at participating restaurants.

Residents have until September 30th, 2026 to register for the programme.
