Shuaib u have time untill Dec..I went there a couple of time but the lines are scary! UAE changes rules every half an hour..why so surprised?
I am going on leave this sat and will be back on 31 Dec.
What scares me most is that this news item came from Khaleej Times which is a main stream news paper also I have heard from different people that its being announced on radio as well.
Now yes they change their stance in matter of seconds but so far this ID card thing is complete mess.
