Dubai is once again at the forefront of technology, this time making life easier for cruise ship passengers with the introduction of a new facial recognition system. The latest development aims to drastically reduce the time taken for port immigration checks. Previously, passengers had to undergo lengthy checks, often resulting in long waiting times. Thanks to the new system, however, passengers can now pass through immigration in just 20 minutes.

Facial Recognition: Quick and Secure Crossing

The new facial recognition technology automatically recognizes passengers, eliminating the need for manual checks. Passengers simply walk through designated gates where the system automatically matches their faces with information in the immigration database. This process makes entry much faster and more efficient while maintaining a high level of security.

Faster Processing for Thousands of Passengers

Dubai receives thousands of cruise ship passengers annually, making this new system particularly important during peak season. With the facial recognition technology, not only can long lines be avoided, but the passenger experience also becomes more comfortable, as there is no need to waste time on tedious checking procedures. The new system aims to ensure that Dubai remains one of the world's leading ports for cruise ship travel and makes the destination even more appealing to cruise travelers.

Future Benefits of Technology

Dubai continues to develop its infrastructure solutions to keep pace with modern technological advancements. The introduction of the facial recognition system not only means a reduction in immigration time but is also part of a broader plan to make the city a smart city of the future.

Dubai continues to play a pioneering role in technological innovations, and this step is further proof that the comfort and security of passengers are of paramount importance.
