Citizens of the UAE can once again travel to GCC countries by using their Emirates ID cards. They are no longer required to carry their passports while travelling to GCC states, UAE officials announced Friday.
The National Authority for Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security said that UAE citizens could use their national ID cards for travel in GCC countries.
GCC citizens will also be allowed to enter the UAE using their state-issued smart ID cards.
