A documentary on Pope Francis' historic three-day visit to Abu Dhabi earlier this year is set to be aired on Thursday.

The National Geographic film documents the Catholic leader's first-ever trip to the Gulf region.

The Peace Visit features interviews with local citizens and government representatives on the visit and its significance to the UAE.

The three-part documentary will premiere at 8:00 pm UAE time on Thursday.
