Dubai’s Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has introduced the nol student package, offering a wide range of benefits tailored for school and university students across the UAE, with a particular focus on Dubai.
Launched at Gitex Global 2024 in collaboration with the International Student Identity Card (ISIC) Association, the nol student package offers a range of benefits through a single card.
Big discounts
Students can enjoy a 50 percent discount on all public transport services operated by the RTA. The card also provides discounts of up to 70 percent on local and international brands, both in the UAE and abroad, and can be used as a payment method at retail stores across the UAE.

Additionally, students will receive a personalized international student identification card integrated with the nol card. The card can be requested via the nol Pay app and will be delivered to the specified address.
This student-specific card aims to enhance the daily travel experience for students of all ages using RTA’s public transport modes, including metro, tram, buses, and marine transport.
New features planned
Later this year, the updated nol student card will introduce new features that allow parents to manage their children’s accounts by topping up balances and controlling daily expenses, providing students and their families with a comprehensive package of diverse benefits.
The RTA signed an agreement with the International Student Identity Card Association during the Middle East and North Africa Transport Congress and Exhibition in February this year to launch the nol student package.
