A new unified tourism visa for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, named "GCC Grand Tours," is set to launch later this year. The visa will allow travelers to visit all six GCC countries, including Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE, under one visa.

The visa aims to make travel across the GCC region easier and more affordable, increasing tourism throughout the region. Tourists using the visa will be able to spend more than 30 days exploring multiple destinations within the six countries.

Expected Launch by Year-End

While an exact launch date has not been announced, officials expect the GCC Grand Tours visa to be available by the end of the year. This initiative is expected to benefit regional economies and boost tourism across the member states.
