Travellers, listen up…

The limited edition passport stamp is part of a campaign launched by creative arm of the Government of Dubai Media Office, under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Media Council.

It features a black-inked photo featuring the Founding Fathers in an embrace. Lucky passengers travelling until December 31, 2024 will receive this stamp in their passport.

The #ZayedAndRashid campaign was launched in collaboration with 53 government, semi-government, and private sector entities and celebrates the legacy of  Sheikh Zayed and Sheikh Rashid, whose vision and efforts laid the foundation for a nation that has become a global beacon for innovation, prosperity, and happiness.

The campaign began on November 3 with UAE Flag Day, and culminates on Eid Al Etihad on December 2, 2024. A range of events, activities and initiatives offered citizens, residents and visitors a reflective view on the remarkable journey made by the UAE since its formation.
