Two children stamp their passports themselves in a unique experience at Dubai Airport

The Director General of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, Lieutenant-General Mohammed Al Marri, surprised two British siblings by allowing them to enter the passport control platform at Dubai Airport to stamp their passports themselves, in a gesture that was met with a state of joy and happiness.

Thomas Williamer, the father of the two children, Isabel, 9, and Charles, 6, said that the family was returning to Dubai after a vacation in Britain, and while they were waiting in front of the passport control platform, the two children expressed their curiosity about what the immigration officers and employees are doing inside the platform. 

This coincided with the passing of Lieutenant-General Muhammad Al-Marri on an inspection tour to inspect the workflow of the administration at Dubai Airport. He exchanged greetings with the two children and surprised them by taking them inside and explaining to them the role of the Passport Department officials, and even allowing them to stamp their passports themselves.

The father of the two children confirmed that it was a wonderful gesture by all standards, not strange to Dubai, in which he has lived with his wife Claire for 18 years and the birth of his two children there, expressing his great appreciation to team Mohammed Al-Marri and the men of the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs.

He pointed out that Lieutenant-General Mohammed Al-Marri himself explained to the two children the details of the work, stressing that the passport control officials at Dubai Airport are a wonderful front, with their great kindness in dealing with travelers and speedy completion of transactions.
