Are you dining out with extended family? Are you looking forward to that shopping spree? Or do you have hospital bills piling up? For some residents and citizens in the UAE, the Fazaa card application offers discounts and other benefits on healthcare, beauty, entertainment, food, automobile, and other sectors.

The card offers car insurance, hotel and travel packages, and even personal accident compensation for some. Here's a guide on who is eligible for a membership, how to apply, and the required documents.
