The city of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) began receiving tourists today for the first time since it shut down due to the coronavirus pandemic. The country is attempting to return to normal life and resume economic activity after lifting its virus-related curfew last month.
In a tweet posted by the Government of Dubai Media Office today on the resumption of tourism, the CEO of Dubai’s Department of Tourism, Issam Kazim, told the international community, “We're ready when you are."
