Tourists arriving in Dubai will be given an exclusive stamp in their passports.
Tourists visiting Dubai by the end of the year will receive a unique stamp in their passport dedicated to the founders of the United Arab Emirates. The seal depicts Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan, the founder of the state, and Sheikh Rashid bin Saeed Al Maktoum, the first ruler of Dubai from the Al Maktoum dynasty. The new initiative is part of a large-scale campaign dedicated to the national holidays of the UAE and designed to highlight the importance of the historical contribution of these leaders to the development of the country.
The stamp has become a symbol of respect for outstanding personalities whose efforts have contributed to the transformation of the region into a modern and dynamic state. For many travelers, it will become a memorable souvenir, reflecting not only the cultural heritage, but also the spirit of unity of the UAE. Such initiatives are actively supported at the state level, demonstrating the country's desire to strengthen its image as a center of international tourism and business.
Dubai regularly introduces innovations aimed at increasing its attractiveness to tourists. For example, earlier in the framework of major events, such as the Asian Cup in 2019, foreigners were offered similar stamps. Then tourists were marked with the logo of the competition, which also caused a positive response from travelers. However, the experience of those years has shown that unique marks can sometimes raise questions when applying to visa centers in other countries. Tourists were advised to clarify passport requirements in advance to avoid misunderstandings.
The initiative with the new stamp is aimed at drawing attention to the historical role of the founders of the nation and creating a unique experience for the guests of the country. Such actions highlight the UAE's desire to preserve cultural heritage while promoting the tourism sector. The introduction of innovative ideas in tourism remains an important part of Dubai's strategy aimed at achieving high attendance rates.
