From late October to early November, expect limited-edition collectibles, discounts, prize booths, and even a little extra happiness in your day-to-day travels.

Here are all offers, gifts and surprises you can expect:

Limited-Edition 20th Anniversary Nol Cards

If you’re a tram rider, keep an eye out for a special Tram x The Entertainer deal running until November 2. You could win a 2-for-1 deal on attractions with The Entertainer UAE 2026, so get ready to double the fun on your next adventure around the city.

Tourist Photo Challenge
If you’re visiting Dubai during this anniversary month, don’t miss Tourist Photo Challenge at DXB from October 28 to November 1. Participate for a chance to win a welcome pack and even get featured on the RTA’s social media channels. It’s a fun way to get involved and show off your travels!

Art Frame & Photobooth at BurJuman
An art frame and photobooth will wait for you at BurJuman on November 1, where you can snap a fun digital keepsake. Whether you’re capturing a memorable moment with friends or just having a laugh, it’s a cool way to get involved in the festivities.

Customer Happiness Centre & Balloons
Across the stations, RTA teams will be spreading some joy with balloons and smiles. Plus, there’s a Customer Happiness Centre where you can drop by for any assistance or just enjoy a warm interaction.

Emirates NBD Kiosks & Go4it Card
Emirates NBD will be hosting kiosks at BurJuman, Union, and Mall of the Emirates Metro stations from November 1 to 15. Visit the kiosks for giveaways and to learn more about their Go4it Card, which combines banking and nol card features in one.
