Video: ‘Most expensive' Rolls Royce joins Dubai Police's tourist patrol fleet
Dubai: Dubai Police has unveiled a new addition to its tourist patrol fleet – a majestic Rolls-Royce that is turning heads and stealing the spotlight at the Arabian Travel Market 2025.
Known for its opulence, the Rolls-Royce takes on a new role of being an ambassador of Dubai's world-class tourism and safety services. With a price tag ranging from Dh2 million to Dh3 million, it is the most expensive luxury vehicle in Dubai Police's awe-inspiring arsenal of supercars, which already includes icons like the Tesla Cybertruck, Lamborghini, and Ferrari.
'This will be the most expensive vehicle in our tourist patrol fleet. You will find this Rolls-Royce on the streets of popular tourist sites across the city like Dubai Frame, Dubai Mall, museums, and heritage sites,' a police officer told Gulf News.
Since being displayed at the event, the car has attracted curious visitors who have been taking selfies and recording videos. But the Rolls-Royce is more than just a showstopper – it's a strategic addition aimed at engaging with tourists both in the city and abroad.
'This car is not just staying in Dubai. We will even take it outside the country. Tourists can take photos with it. It's about making our services more accessible.'
By making appearances at iconic landmarks, the luxury patrol fleet enhances Dubai's image as a premier destination and helps educate visitors about the various police services available to them.

'A dream come true': Joy for Emiratis embarking on Hajj pilgrimage
Emiratis travelling to Saudi Arabia to embark on the annual Hajj pilgrimage have shared their joy at making the spiritual journey. About 3,100 citizens are expected to fly to the kingdom from Dubai this week to be part of the cherished ritual, which gets under way on Wednesday. The National visited Dubai International Airport (DXB) on Monday, where pilgrims were leaving for Hajj. A special committee of Dubai Police, immigration, customs and health authorities, along with airline staff, has been established as the pilgrimage coincides with the beginning of the busy summer travel season. Travellers were welcomed with dates, water, juice and sweets by volunteers at DXB, who also guided them through the airport. A medical team was on hand to offer free check-ups for pilgrims before boarding aircraft. The National spoke to some of the pilgrims making the journey through the airport. 'I'm thrilled. I can't describe the joy of travelling finally for Hajj. I broke down in tears when I arrived at the airport knowing my dream has became a reality," said Abdullah Al Mutawa, 45, from Ras Al Khaimah, who was making his first Hajj pilgrimage. 'I'm grateful to the authorities for making our unforgettable experience at the airport smooth and beautiful.' Sultan Mohammed, 29, from Abu Dhabi, was travelling with a group of friends to perform Hajj for the first time. 'I'm super happy knowing I'm travelling to perform Hajj this season. It is a dream come true," he said. 'I want to thank everyone for the warm welcome at the airport." Emirati pilgrims are set to depart from DXB on 28 dedicated flights operated by the airlines Emirates, flydubai, Saudia and Flynas. Tables at Terminal 1 were decked out with items including bottles of water, umbrellas, hand-fans and chocolates for those making the journey. Pilgrims are able to scan a barcode at the airport to receive information on how to avoid dehydration, where to find drinking water and what to do if they feel tired, and contact numbers have also been provided in case of emergencies. Pilgrims can also take free blood pressure and sugar tests before departing. "These journeys are personal, profound, and often once in a lifetime," said Essa Al Shamsi, senior vice president of terminal operations at Dubai Airports. 'Through the efforts of our people and the DXB community, we want to ensure every pilgrim departs with confidence and returns with ease.' Tips for pilgrims Be aware of the latest travel regulations and ensure that you have all the necessary documents with the required validity before going to the airport. Weighing luggage at home, checking documents in advance and being prepared for security checks can save time at the airport. Arrive at the airport at least four hours before departure. Use the Dubai Metro to travel to and from the airport to avoid traffic on the roads. Friends and families using private vehicles are advised to use the airport's designated car parks or valet service to receive their guests as access to the arrivals forecourt in Terminals 1 and 3 is limited to public transport and other authorised airport vehicles. Making the pilgrimage Millions of Muslims travel to Makkah to perform Hajj each year, while many also head further north to the city of Madinah. All Muslims who are able to do so are required to make the Hajj pilgrimage to Makkah at least once in their lifetime. Hajj and the other four pillars of Islam form the foundation of life for Muslims. The annual pilgrimage takes place during Dhu Al Hijjah, the last month of the Islamic calendar, and lasts for about four to six days. The Hajj pilgrimage is to begin on Wednesday, June 4, with Arafat Day, the second day of the week-long Hajj pilgrimage, marked for Thursday, June 5. Eid Al Adha celebrations will begin on Friday, June 6 and run until Sunday, June 8. It was announced last week that both the public and private sectors would be granted leave from Thursday to Sunday, June 5 to 8, with work resuming on Monday, June 9.

Nahyan attends anniversary celebration of ‘Kalayaan 2025'
Sheikh Nahyan Bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, attended a major celebration marking the 127th anniversary of Philippine independence 'Kalayaan 2025.' The event, hosted at Dubai World Trade Centre and organised by the 'Emirates Loves Philippines' platform in collaboration with Dubai Police, brought together over 40,000 members of the Filipino community in the UAE, along with government officials, diplomats, and social and economic figures from the community. In his opening speech, Sheikh Nahyan congratulated the Filipino community on this important national day, and said: 'I am delighted to be with you this evening to celebrate the 127th Anniversary of Philippine Independence.' 'On behalf of the people of the United Arab Emirates, I extend our heartfelt congratulations and warmest greetings to the people of the Philippines here and around the world. This day marks not only your independence, but your enduring spirit of resilience, community, and optimism. It is a day of pride, and one you have every reason to celebrate,' the Minister said. He added that the UAE is pleased to call the Philippines a close friend and valued partner. Across this nation, and across the decades, hundreds of thousands of Filipino people have made their mark. Your knowledge, skills, creativity, and compassion have enriched many sectors of our society – from healthcare and education to hospitality, finance, entrepreneurship, and the arts. Sheikh Nahyan emphasised that although our two countries may be separated by geography, we are united by shared values: openness, optimism, mutual respect, and a belief in the dignity of every individual. He noted that the UAE's success story is a shared story. 'We are a global crossroads. A place where more than 200 nationalities live and work side by side. A place where peace and prosperity are made possible by welcoming people from every walk of life.' He affirmed that under the visionary leadership of His Highness the President, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and with the unwavering support of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President, Prime Minister, and Ruler of Dubai, and of all of our national leaders, the country has embraced human fraternity, coexistence, compassion, and achievement as national pillars. 'This celebration today,' the Minister stated, 'is a reflection of that vision. It is a reflection of how the UAE honours every culture and every heritage that we host in our country, as well as the role that each community plays in building this great nation.' He went on to say, 'In that spirit of inclusion, unity, and celebration, I would like to share with you a new national initiative that is very close to my heart.' Announcing the initiative, Sheikh Nahyan said that as Minister of Tolerance and Coexistence, and in partnership with Sandooq Al Watan, a writing competition titled 'What the UAE Means to Me' has been launched. He clarified that this initiative, aligned with the Year of Community, is a call to every resident – young and old, citizens and expatriates, professionals and students – to share their story and their voice. 'This competition,' he explained, 'invites participants to reflect on what the UAE has meant to them. Submissions can be a short story, a poem, a letter, an essay, or another creative expression, and written in either Arabic or English.' He expressed confidence that many of the most moving and powerful entries will come from the Filipino community – from those who arrived with a dream and built a future, from mothers and fathers raising families, from nurses and teachers, from innovators and caregivers, and from artists and engineers. 'Your stories matter,' the Minister emphasised, 'and the rest of us would love to hear from you.' He urged everyone to visit the website and submit their entries. He called on the audience, saying, 'Please encourage your families, your children, your co-workers, and your neighbours. Invite them to put into words their experience of life in the UAE. Let your stories inspire others, and let your words help express what makes our country so uniquely united in diversity.'
