Dubai has seen a massive amount of growth over the years, especially as a global tourism destination. It goes without saying that the current conflict with Iran has given a lot of people pause, and has caused them to reconsider a visit to the United Arab Emirates.
Along those lines, the emirate has just launched a creative new program, rewarding locals with up to $800 in value for each visitor they refer (thanks to Aaron for flagging this).
In this post:
Benefits for the residents will be awarded as of August 2026, and will be valid through December 31, 2026.
This isn’t quite as generous as it might sound
When I first saw this, I thought “damn, they’re going to give $800+ for each visitor? That’s a lot to spend!” However, that’s not exactly what’s going on here.
