Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie are still on a mission. An economic mission to the Middle East that is. After Abu Dhabi yesterday, they and their accompanying delegation made their way to Dubai today.

In the UAE's biggest city, the couple participated in meetings with the local Chamber of Commerce and a business forum organised on the occasion of their visit. The Hereditary Grand Duke and Hereditary Grand Duchess also rocked hard hats while visiting the trailing suction hopper dredger ‘Cristóbal Colón’. Owned by the Jan de Nul Group, the ship sails under Luxembourgish flag. The couple also saw the signing of a contract about the Grand Duchy's participation in the Expo 2020 to be held in Dubai and saw the fair grounds.

In addition to new pictures, both the cour and the government also updated their galleries of visuals with more pictures from yesterday of Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume and Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie meeting with the Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, as well as Sheikh Nahyan bin Mubarak Al Nahyan, Minister of Culture, Youth, and Social Development. They also paid a visit to Masdar City, the model city that solely relies on solar energy and other renewable energy sources. Tageblatt has additional pictures of today. RTL also has pictures as well as a video.
