Dubai is celebrating the Islamic month of Ramadan with a unique gesture for visitors. Upon arrival, travellers will receive a special memento in their passports—a unique stamp commemorating the holy month as part of the #RamadanInDubai campaign. This initiative, now in its second year, is led by the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs (GDRFA) and features a stamp designed by Brand Dubai, the creative arm of the Government of Dubai Media Office.

The #RamadanInDubai campaign is designed to unify Ramadan celebrations across the city, showcasing Dubai’s vibrant atmosphere and highlighting authentic Emirati traditions. It aims to enhance the collective experience of the Holy Month, bringing joy and vibrance to both residents and visitors. The campaign involves government, semi-government, and private sector entities working together to create a memorable experience.

Dubai Airports often celebrate special occasions by offering limited-edition passport stamps for visitors. These stamps are issued to commemorate significant events such as cultural festivals or milestone anniversaries. They provide travellers with a unique keepsake of their time in Dubai while raising awareness of the cultural importance of these occasions.

The special Ramadan stamp is part of Dubai’s innovative approach to celebrating the holy month with diverse activities, including cultural, sports, community, and religious events. This initiative reflects Dubai’s commitment to creating memorable experiences for its visitors and residents alike.

Dubai’s unique approach to cultural celebrations continues to attract visitors from around the world, offering them a chance to immerse themselves in the city’s rich cultural heritage during significant events like Ramadan.
