Abu Dhabi Police Welcome Oman Arrivals With Flowers and Gifts

Publish date: Sunday، 05 December 2021

Abu Dhabi Police have welcomed travellers from across the Oman border with flowers and gifts after land borders were reopened on Wednesday.

Travel by road to and from Oman was restricted intermittently since the end of 2019 to curb the effects of the coronavirus.

However, road passage into the UAE from Oman was reopened as COVID-19 cases dropped to new lows in both countries.
