Prince William has arrived in Dubai for his first official visit to the UAE.

The British Royal Family’s official Twitter account shared a tweet that read, “The Duke of Cambridge has arrived in Dubai on his first official visit to the UAE.”

Meanwhile, Prince William tweeted a picture of Dubai’s magnificent skyline from the aircraft he arrived on, and said, “Excited to be arriving in Dubai to celebrate the UK at Dubai Expo and discuss the vital issue of working together with the UAE and international partners to achieve a more sustainable world with The Earthshot Prize and United for Wildlife.”
