UAE introduces four new visit visa categories

View descriptionShare

The UAE has rolled out four new visit visa categories, along with changes to who can sponsor family and business travellers. We ask legal expert Devanand Mahadeva what it all means for residents and employers.

With the changes, travel agencies and tour operators are watching closely. Could this open up new demand, more tailored packages, or even a different kind of traveller altogether? We get the take of Sai Rattan, General Manager for Special Projects at Satguru Travel.

Big changes in food delivery. Talabat is introducing mandatory insurance for riders. Is it a new standard for safety, or just smart PR? A senior executive joins us live.

The Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority is now trialling self-driving lorries. What does this mean for road safety, logistics, and the people currently behind the wheel? Abdulrahman Al Janahi, Director of Commercial Transport Activities Department, Licensing Agency, RTA, gives us more details.

It’s one of Dubai’s most iconic attractions, and it’s back with a splash. The Dubai Fountain reopens tomorrow after months of upgrades, with more shows, brighter lights, and a brand new sound system. But what does that mean for the restaurants that surround it? We hear from the CEO of TANG, one of the city’s top dining spots with a front-row view.

And finally, meet the UAE students whose desert rescue tech just won international recognition. Their invention could help save lives in the dunes.
