On Monday, June 10, a new Nol card offering discounts up to Dh17,000 on various products and services was introduced for tourists, residents, and citizens. The Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) stated that the nol Travel Card will initially be available at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and through partners like Zoom and Europcar. Priced initially at Dh200 for a year with a Dh19 balance, it can be renewed for Dh150 at the end of the year. Existing nol card users cannot switch to the new nol Travel card yet, but the RTA may consider this in the future. Mohammed Al Mudharreb, CEO of the Corporate Technology Support Services Sector at RTA, explained that cardholders can use it for public transportation, parking, and other city entertainment. He highlighted that the card aims to integrate public transportation and city facilities into a single payment method, offering over 100% discounts totaling more than Dh17,000, with discounts ranging from 5% to 10% at hotels, shops, and entertainment venues. Salahaldeen Almarzouqi, director of the Automated Collection Systems Department, noted that the new card will have unique packages with various benefits and discounts, and plans to introduce a digital version via a barcode. He also mentioned that RTA will explore the possibility of transferring balances from existing nol cards to the new nol Travel card in the future. Amr Abdelsamad, managing director of MDX Solutions, stated that over 100 partners and facilities, including restaurants and entertainment venues, currently accept the card, with more expected to join.
