ABU DHABI, 24th September, 2016 (WAM)--Dr. Mohammed bin Abdul Rahman Al Bishr, Saudi Arabia ambassador to the UAE, has said that about one million Saudi visitors toured the UAE last year.

In a statement to Oloum Al Dar Economy programme of Abu Dhabi TV, he added that such visits were prompted by the social relations, common traditions and customs between the two peoples, as well as services and safety provided by the host, whether in Abu Dhabi or Dubai.

Ambassador Al Bishr noted that when the Saudi visitors come to the UAE they actually feel at home as if visiting any other Saudi city.
