An event run by the Dubai government to advise people on what to do if they overstay their visas has had to close early after overwhelming crowds on the first day.
Organisers are now searching for new venue which will be announced shortly.
The programme, titled “A Home For All”, was planned at City Centre Deira and scheduled to run from 10am until 10pm for three days, starting on Saturday, according to the General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai.
The purpose of the event was to educate residents on visa restrictions, provide legal advice, as well as inform people on ways they can stay in the UAE to search for work.
However, by 1pm on the first day, the site had reached capacity and the event was closed.
