Dubai
The Saudi government has made some important changes in visa rules, which will especially impact those who plan to stay in Dubai with their family or friends. The new rules will come into effect from December 8 and will affect thousands of Indians traveling to Dubai during Christmas and New Year. Due to these rules, it will not be easy for Indians to travel to Dubai. This rule will be in effect from December 8 to January 14, when Dubai is in the shopping festival and holiday season.
Difficulties and expenses of tourists will increase
Due to these rules, travelers who want to stay at the homes of their acquaintances or friends but are unable to collect the necessary documents will be forced to stay in hotels. Hotel costs in Dubai can range from ₹20,000 to ₹1,00,000 per night. Many people may be forced to cancel their journey due to inability to collect documents. Let us tell you that a large number of Indian tourists participate in the Dubai Shopping Festival starting from 8th December. But due to these strict rules, there is a possibility of decline in the number of tourists this time. While Dubai administration says that this step has been taken to strengthen security and prevent unauthorized migration. However, due to this, tourists and residents of other countries including Indians will face inconvenience.
