As HH Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the Vice-President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai placed the last piece of the Museum of the Future’s facade, his son HH Sheikh Hamdan bin Rashid Al Maktoum has praised his father for being a leader who never settles.
The Crown Prince of Dubai attended the installation of the final piece of the Dhs500 million facility with his father on Saturday evening. Not only will be an intriguing hub for museum-goers to visit, it is also set to be a top of the range research centre.

As the COVID-19 pandemic continues, countries are changing and adapting guidelines as best they can in order to prevent the further spread of the virus.
With that, Dubai has outlined new travel guidelines for citizens, residents and tourists, per an announcement from the emirate’s Supreme Committee of Crisis & Disaster Management.

In a statement from Dubai’s Supreme Committee of Crisis and Disaster Management said the amendments are to “ease hassles for passengers and exempt citizens from additional procedures without compromising on precautionary measures”.
One of the most notable updates to the guidelines includes changes to when a COVID-19 test is required before leaving Dubai. Now UAE residents, citizens and tourists who are departing from Dubai only need to undergo a PCR test if their destination country requires a certified negative result.

Meanwhile there’s other guidelines pertaining to whether you are a UAE citizen, resident or visitor arriving in Dubai.
