Kuwait Opens Tourist Visa‑On‑Arrival for All GCC Residents
Visitors no longer need to apply ahead of time or meet specific job criteria - now a passport and proof of residency are enough to cross the border. Anyone living in a GCC country with a valid residency permit of at least six months can obtain a tourist visa on arrival in Kuwait. The new regulation replaces a 2008 policy that limited entry to certain professions and excluded many residents from quick access. Under the updated rule, tourism to Kuwait becomes simpler for longtime residents of the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Oman and Bahrain. Visitors no longer need to apply ahead of time or meet specific job criteria - now a passport and proof of residency are enough to cross the border. Contextually, the change comes as Kuwait joins other GCC nations in making regional travel smoother. It follows the launch of the country's revamped e‑Visa platform and fits within a wider shift in Gulf policy towards more inclusive mobility in tandem with the anticipated launch of a unified GCC tourist visa

e& deploys GCC's first Dual-Band 64T64R MetaAAU, advancing 5G network sustainably - Middle East Business News and Information
Abu Dhabi, August 2025 – e& UAE has deployed the GCC's first Dual-Band 64T64R MetaAAU, an advanced radio unit from Huawei, on its live 5G network. This new technology not only improves how 5G networks perform but also uses less energy and reduces the amount of equipment needed, delivering a better, more sustainable experience for customers across the UAE. Abdulrahman Al Humaidan, Senior Vice President/Access Network Development, e& UAE, said: 'This deployment is a breakthrough in compact, high-performance network technology and an important marker on our road to net zero by 2030 and 5G-Advanced. By merging two key 5G frequency bands into a single, intelligent unit, we've halved the amount of equipment needed at our mobile sites while significantly improving coverage, speed, and energy efficiency. It's a smarter, greener way to deliver better connectivity to our customers.' The Dual-Band 64T64R MetaAAU combines multiple frequencies (2.6 + 3.5GHz) in a single unit, cutting hardware needs and lowering power consumption by 35 per cent. Smart energy saving features, like symbol-level sleep, further lower energy consumption by an additional 15 per cent during low traffic periods. Using advanced antenna technology with double the capacity of traditional units, 384 antenna units compared to 192 units, the coverage capability is improved significantly, strengthening indoor signals, and enhancing connectivity in busy areas by 30 to 60 per cent. Unlike traditional setups that require separate installations for each band, this integrated solution reduces equipment footprint by 60 per cent and halves the deployment time, making network rollouts quicker and more efficient. As 5G progresses, technologies like Dual-Band 64T64R MetaAAU are instrumental in creating a more connected and energy-efficient future for the UAE and pave the way for 5G-Advanced connectivity. This deployment reinforces e& UAE's commitment to building smarter, more sustainable 5G networks that cater to both customer needs and the nation's digital future.

Smiles, e& UAE's everyday rewards Super App that also houses its loyalty programme, has launched a partnership with Etihad Guest, the loyalty programme of Etihad Airways, the national carrier of the United Arab Emirates. Now offering customers of both programmes a fully integrated experience through the Rewards Exchange on the Smiles app, and soon via the Etihad website and mobile app. Customers can now link their loyalty accounts to transfer between the programmes and instantly convert Smiles points to Etihad Guest Miles and vice versa. Unlocking greater flexibility, enhanced rewards earning potential, and more ways to spend points and miles across both programmes. Masood Mohamed Sharif, Chief Executive Officer, e& UAE, said: 'This collaboration brings together two of the UAE's most trusted homegrown brands to deliver even more value to our loyal customers. By enabling seamless Smiles points and Etihad Guest Miles exchange, we're not only growing the rewards ecosystem but also making benefits more accessible. It reflects our focus on creating smarter, more connected experiences that meet the evolving expectations of our customers.' Antonoaldo Neves, Chief Executive Officer Etihad Airways, said, 'This partnership showcases our commitment to delivering extraordinary customer service for our guests, offering enhanced redemption flexibility and membership benefits. We are delighted to be collaborating as two of the UAE's most successful and international, Emirati brands, offering our loyal Etihad Guest members greater options to collect and redeem Miles, through this collaboration with e&.'

To initiate the exchange, customers of both programmes must link their accounts through the 'Rewards Exchange' section on the Smiles app and will be able to instantly transfer their loyalty currencies from one programme to the other. This strategic collaboration between two of the UAE's most prominent homegrown brands offers existing loyal customers more ways to benefit—and invites new customers to explore the best of both worlds: everyday lifestyle rewards through Smiles, and extraordinary travel experiences through Etihad Guest. The integration is available exclusively through the Smiles app now, with the opportunity for members to transfer via the Etihad website and newly launched mobile app in the near future.
