The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has unveiled details of a landmark visa program designed to streamline travel across the member states of the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC). Dubbed the “GCC Grand Tours” visa, the initiative draws inspiration from Europe’s Schengen Area, which allows for visa-free movement between member countries.

Announced by Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, the UAE’s Minister of Economy, during the Arabian Travel Market (ATM), the GCC Grand Tours visa represents a significant step towards boosting tourism in the region. This long-awaited program will eliminate the need for tourists to obtain separate visas for each GCC nation, simplifying logistics and potentially reducing travel costs.

Al Marri hailed the visa as a “game-changer” for the GCC’s tourism industry.
