Going cashless

DUBAI Tourism is introducing an all-inclusive prepaid card for visitors. The Dubai Pass will grant cashless access to 33 key events and venues across the city.

An initiative by the Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing, the yearround Dubai Pass (pic) has been introduced following the success of previous DSS and DSF passes.

It will provide a streamlined way for visitors to experience the largest and most populous city in the United Arab Emirates. The card will help travellers save money as well as make the most of their trip.

Dubai Pass is available in both “Select” and “Unlimited” packages, with a specially-curated list of popular attractions and experiences. These include Burj Khalifa, Dubai Parks and Resorts, IMG Worlds of Adventure, Wild Wadi Waterpark, Ski Dubai, Desert Safari Tours, and many more.

With every purchase, visitors will also receive a 50% discount on tickets to La Perle – the city’s one-of- a-kind live entertainment show with acrobatics and aerial stunts – by simply presenting their Dubai Pass when buying a ticket to the show.

The pass will be available from May 16 and is priced from AED 399 (RM420).

Dubai isn’t the only country that offers a tourist pass with discounts for travellers. Other similar initiatives are also available in Singapore, South Korea, Japan and Australia.
