How tourists can save big with this special nol card

Planning a trip to Dubai? Whether you’re here for a few days or an extended stay, the nol Travel Card is your perfect companion for exploring the city with ease and savings. Designed by Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), this innovative smart card brings together convenient public transport access and incredible offers across attractions, dining, and hotels — all in one sleek package.

With Dubai’s world-class infrastructure and countless sights to explore, getting around efficiently is essential. The nol Travel Card lets you move effortlessly across the city — from the towering Burj Khalifa to the serene Dubai Creek — without worrying about buying separate tickets or juggling cash.

Instead of standing in line for fares or switching between multiple apps, simply tap your nol Travel Card to access Dubai Metro, public buses, trams, and even water transport such as ferries and water taxis. It’s a single, hassle-free solution for all your travel needs across the emirate.

Beyond transportation, the nol Travel Card offers tourists exclusive privileges that make every dirham go further. Holders enjoy savings worth up to AED 17,000 on entertainment, dining, and shopping. Think discounted cinema tickets at ROXY Cinemas, special rates at hotels such as InterContinental, Crowne Plaza Jumeirah, and Holiday Inn, plus offers at cafés, retail outlets, and popular attractions.

To make it even easier, all deals are available digitally through the nol Pay app — compatible with iOS, Android, and Huawei devices — and on the official website www.noltravel.ae. Tourists can view current offers, access promo codes instantly, and use them when booking online or showing their card in person.

Priced at AED 200, the nol Travel Card includes AED 19 in transport credit, full digital access via the nol Pay app, and over 40 partner offers citywide. Once activated, it becomes your universal pass for moving, shopping, dining, and exploring Dubai seamlessly.

Visitors can purchase the card easily at ZOOM convenience stores, Europcar branches at Dubai International Airport, and select travel agencies. After purchase, activation is simple — just register through the nol Pay app or online at noltravel.ae to start enjoying the benefits.

With its blend of convenience, value, and flexibility, the nol Travel Card transforms how visitors experience Dubai. It’s more than a travel ticket — it’s your key to discovering the best of the city while saving along the way.
