The UAE Ministry of Family has launched free Fazaa discount memberships for all resident families throughout 2026 as part of the Year of the Family celebration. The initiative grants access to extensive discounts across retail, travel, and entertainment sectors, recognising families as partners in national development.

Who's eligible and how to register

Resident families must include at least one son or daughter to qualify for the free membership. The membership remains valid throughout 2026 and expires on 31 December 2026.

Families can register through www.fazaa.ae with a dedicated technical support team and call centre available to assist with digital card activation. The Fazaa website has experienced significant slowdowns as thousands of residents rushed to register simultaneously.

What you get with Fazaa membership

Members gain access to discounts at more than 34,000 retail outlets inside and outside the UAE, plus discounts on over 28,000 food and consumer products through Fazaa Stores. This creates substantial savings opportunities for everyday shopping needs.

For travel, families can enjoy discounts on packages at more than 500,000 hotels worldwide through the Fazaa Places (also called Fazaa Amakin) service. Entertainment benefits include up to 70% discounts on tickets and activities through the Fazaa mobile application, similar to deals offered by VOX Cinemas promotions.

The membership also provides exclusive offers on selected products and services throughout the year.

Part of Year of the Family vision

This initiative reflects the UAE's commitment to supporting family stability, enhancing quality of life, and strengthening social cohesion among diverse communities. The Year of the Family 2026 recognises families as fundamental partners in the nation's development and progress.

The programme follows the UAE's tradition of providing shopping rewards and membership benefits to residents, demonstrating the government's focus on improving residents' purchasing power and lifestyle benefits.

What this means for UAE families

The massive surge in registrations reveals strong uptake among UAE residents and highlights the programme's potential impact on family spending. For expatriate families who make up the majority of UAE residents, this initiative offers substantial cost savings across multiple spending categories.

The timing coincides with increased focus on family welfare in the UAE context, positioning the government as actively supporting household budgets through practical benefits rather than just policy announcements.

How to get your membership

Registration is completely free through the official Fazaa website at www.fazaa.ae. A dedicated technical support team and call centre are available to help families activate their digital cards.

Due to high demand, the website may experience delays during peak registration times. The membership covers the entire 2026 calendar year and automatically expires on 31 December 2026.
