A royal visit: Snaps of King Charles III visit to the UAE over the years
The UK and UAE have a deep and historic partnership…
This weekend on Saturday, May 6 and 7 at London’s Westminster Abbey, a grand coronation celebration is taking place to formally crown King Charles III. For those of you who can’t watch the celebrations in the flesh, there are a number of places here in Dubai and Abu Dhabi that are screening the celebrations live with some special deals.
While we await the big day, we are looking back at the times King Charles III visited the United Arab Emirates.
