UAE: Travelling from Sharjah this summer? Airport reveals busiest days
Sharjah Airport announced on Saturday a significant increase in travel volume to and from the emirate during the peak summer season, with over 800,000 passengers expected to travel from July 1 to 15, 2025. It said a comprehensive plan has been prepared to provide a seamless travel experience for all passengers during the first two weeks of July. Earlier, Dubai Airports, Emirates and Etihad Airways issued advisories, asking passengers to come early and opt for online check-in due to peak summer travel. A large number of UAE residents travel during summer to their home countries and cooler climes. UAE residents have started resuming travel plans after a ceasefire to the Iran-Israel war was announced following recent geopolitical tensions in the region, including an Iranian strike on a US base in Qatar. Most UAE airlines fully resumed their scheduled operations a few hours after the Iranian attack. In its latest update on June 25, Sharjah-based Air Arabia said as regional airspace continues to open, it is gradually resuming operations on previously suspended flights. 'Sharjah Airport urges passengers to arrive at the airport three hours before their flight to avoid any potential delays in completing travel procedures. Passengers are also advised to communicate with their airlines in advance to verify flight times and any updates,' it said on Saturday. Sharjah Airport Authority (SAA) assured that it has intensified efforts around the clock with teams and customer service staff working to provide necessary support, respond to passenger inquiries, and guide them in using the airport's smart services and innovative technologies with ease.

Saudi Arabia grants visa holders 30-day grace period to exit the Kingdom
The Saudi General Directorate of Passports (Jawazat) has started a new initiative allowing all types of expired visit visas to be extended for final departure from the country. This move took effect on June 26, 2025, and gives visa holders 30 days to process their exit. Those affected must first settle any related fees and penalties before they can leave. After that, they can request the extension and finalize their departure procedures. This initiative is open to all individuals with expired visit visas, regardless of the visa's category or purpose. It provides a chance for those who overstayed to regularize their situation without facing legal complications. The extension can be requested online through the 'Tawasul' service on the Ministry of Interior's 'Absher' platform. This digital service allows users to process government-related services without having to visit offices. Jawazat urged all affected individuals to make use of this opportunity before the 30-day deadline expires. No extensions will be granted after the cutoff period. The agency reminded the public that this is a one-time initiative aimed at easing the departure process for those with expired visit visas.
