Dubai Police return two Omani daughters to father

The committee for securing New Year’s Eve events in the Emirate of Dubai returned, within record time, two lost Omani girls to their family after they were missing during the New Year’s Eve celebrations in the Burj Khalifa area of Dubai.

The Omani citizen, the father of the two girls, expressed his deep gratitude for the efforts made, the speed response, and the good coordination, stressing that this event reflects Dubai’s model in the integration between official and societal bodies to serve people.

He added: “May Allah Al Mighty bless the Emirates... and protect the country.”

The Events Security Committee in the Emirate of Dubai was keen to provide the highest standards of security and safety in all locations that witnessed celebrations for the New Year 2026.

Earlier, the Committee revealed the readiness with a plan to secure the New Year’s Eve 2026 celebrations, and all the security, organisational, and service procedures aimed at contributing to the success of the global event in a manner befitting the reputation of the city of Dubai in organising the best shows and massive events.

Recently, Dubai Police returned to a European tourist his wallet before he even realised that he had lost it while he was on his way back to his home country, according to Brigadier Khalfan Obaid Al Jallaf, Director of Dubai Tourist Police, at the General Department of Criminal Investigations. A taxi driver called the police and told them he found a wallet that belonged to a man who was heading to the airport, he added.

The work team at Dubai Tourist Police received the report and communicated with the airport accordingly, as a result of which they managed to identify the plane the tourist boarded and return the wallet to him, he said.
