In the UAE, people of determination have access to benefits such as free parking, exemption from toll fees, discounts on healthcare, Fazaa card, and more. The country also seeks to make society inclusive and accessible to people of determination, providing different platforms for using their skills and abilities.

From sensory spaces in airports to modified taxis, and accessible infrastructure such as wheelchair ramps, people of determination can access facilities designed to facilitate their inclusion in society, and make their lives easier.

People of determination in UAE can apply for a free PoD card through the Ministry of Community Development, or through organisations like Zayed Higher Organisation.
