Visit Britain: UAE and other GCC visitors love shopping, dining, and the sights

Dubai: At just over 7 hours from the emirate, Britain is a much-loved travel destination for travellers from the UAE. Even amid changing COVID restrictions on global travel, Britain remains a top choice for travel from the country and the region. While many visitors head to the UK for London - a one-stop destination for different categories of travellers - there are many other attractions for tourists headed to the country. Edinburgh, Bath, Stonehenge, Windsor are jut a few other places that appeal to international and regional tourists. We spoke to the team at Visit Britain to get a better idea of why they see a lot of tourism traffic from the GCC region and UAE in particular. A spokesperson said, " We believe that the strong ties between the GCC countries and the UK will always drive travellers to Britain. GCC nationals love UK green spaces, the history, the royalty, shopping and food." If you’re a national of the UAE and you're planning to visit the UK, you may be able to get an electronic visa waiver instead of a visa. if you are a resident of UAE with a different nationality that requires a visa travellers are advised
