The ALSAADA Tourist Card pack will be distributed to all tourists at passport counters at Dubai International Airport.
Tourists will be asked to scan a barcode using their smartphones to download the ALSAADA Tourist application from the Android store or Apple Store. Once launched, the application will prompt the user to enter their passport number and date of arrival in order to generate a smart card under the tourist’s name.
The application will also provide users access to the full list of promotions and discounts offered by ALSAADA card partners. The card expires once the tourist leaves the city. Tourists can get a new card on their next visit to Dubai.
