    Muscat: Citizens of the UAE can now again travel to GCC countries by using their Emirates ID cards. They are no longer required to carry their passports while traveling to GCC state, Emirates announced on Friday.

    The National Authority for Emergency, Crisis and Disaster Management and the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Port Security said the UAE Citizens could use their national ID cards for travel in GCC countries. 

    GCC citizens will also be allowed to enter the UAE using their state-issues smart ID cards. 

    The new procedures aim to make travel between GCC coutnires more accessible, NCEMA said. Passports for inter-GCC travel were made mandatory during the height of the Covid-19 pandemic. Since 2020, GCC citizens need to carry a visa to travel within the Gulf.
