*Dubai shatters ‘Dream Cruise’
RAO KHALID***
ISLAMABAD - The Dubai authorities have banned the entry of the cruise liner ‘ Dream Cruise’ in its waters following disappearance of three passengers travelling on the cruise, its very first trip to Dubai in the second week of November.
The first ever luxury cruise liner service launched in the first week of November by Gulf Dream Cruise Company, embarked upon the 5-day trip on November 7 from Karachi to Dubai.
On arrival the passengers were allowed to enter the city of Dubai by depositing their passports with the immigration authorities at the port.
When the cruise was ready to return to Karachi, the Dubai immigration officials found three passengers missing. After a detailed discussion with the cruise crew, the Dubai authorities realised that the missing passengers had come to Dubai with the intention to disappear.
The authorities in Dubai decided to confiscate the cruise but the timely intervention by Tourism Minister Nilofar Bakhtiar rescued the situation, however, the Dubai authorities banned entry of any cruise liner coming from Pakistan.
