Hundreds of German tourists have been repatriated from Ras Al Khaimah after being stranded in the UAE.
This comes after flights were suspended in the country amidst concerns over COVID-19.
More than 320 passengers, mostly German nationals, departed on two separate flights from Ras Al Khaimah International Airport in a joint effort by the UAE government and the German Embassy in the country.
Both flights took-off to Frankfurt Airport.
Ras Al Khaimah airport was chosen as the departure point due to its quick and efficient screening procedures at gates.
Also on-board the flights were passengers from Romania, Turkey, Poland, Kosovo and Croatia.
