The police fleet of supercars already includes cars from Aston Martin, Bugatti, Ferrari, Bentley, McLaren, Porsche, Lamborghini and even luxury speed boats, a Tesla Cybertruck and a 3D-printed SWAT super-truck.
The force has now unveiled a bespoke Rolls-Royce Cullinan, uniquely customised by renowned automotive specialist Mansory, to its prestigious fleet of luxury patrol vehicles.

The unveiling took place during the Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2025, held at Dubai World Trade Centre, where Brigadier Khalfan Obaid Al Jallaf, Director of the Tourist Police Department at Dubai Police, inaugurated the new patrol vehicle.
Lt. Col Muhammad Abdurrahman, Deputy Director of Tourist Police Department, Lt.Col Mousa Mubarak Abdullah, Head of the Tourist Security Patrols Section, and other Dubai Police officials attended the ceremony, alongside Mr Kourosh Mansory, Director of Mansory, Mr. Saleh Abdullah, Head of Design, Mr. Ahmad Al Abadi, Director of Operations, and members of the Mansory team.
Brigadier Al Jallaf reviewed the vehicle's outstanding features, noting its impressive power output of 610 horsepower, with max speed of 280 kmph, and its ability to sprint from 0 to 100kmph in just 5 seconds.
He also examined the series of bespoke enhancements that distinguish this Cullinan, crafted from premium carbon fibre and aluminium components and finished with cutting-edge technologies and high-end displays to provide an optimal driving experience.
These modifications ensure the vehicle stands out both visually and in performance.
Brigadier Al Jallaf praised the ongoing collaboration with Mansory, noting that the introduction of such elite vehicles into the Police's fleet strengthens the police presence at key tourist destinations, including Burj Khalifa, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Boulevard, and JBR, while reflecting Dubai Police's commitment to staying at the forefront of innovation and modernity.
Kourosh Mansory, Director of Mansory, said: 'Mansory, headquartered in Germany, has long been a global leader in luxury automotive modification, redefining excellence through custom craftsmanship and exclusive design.
'We are proud to mark our second collaboration with Dubai Police. Our latest creation, the Rolls-Royce Cullinan, a one-of-a-kind edition tailored specifically for Dubai Police, reflects our shared commitment to innovation, excellence, and leadership in the automotive world.'
The debut of this custom Cullinan in Dubai Police's green livery follows a successful earlier collaboration between Mansory and Dubai Police, which saw the integration of a modified Mercedes G63 into the force's fleet.
That vehicle boasts 720 horsepower, accelerates from 0 to 100kmph in just 3.7 seconds, and reaches a top speed of 250kmph.

Tamil Group Aids Worker
TDT | Manama A stranded Indian worker who lost his job and faced visa issues has safely returned to Tamil Nadu, thanks to swift support from Bahrain's Tamil community and coordination with the Indian Embassy. Mr Murugesan, a native of Ramanathapuram in Tamil Nadu, had been working in Bahrain for seven years before recently losing his job. With his visa renewal stalled and no income or accommodation, he found himself in a desperate situation. His case came to the attention of the Indian Embassy, which reached out to Annai Tamil Mandram (ATM), a community group known for supporting Tamil-speaking expatriates in Bahrain, ATM officials said. The group responded quickly, arranging food, shelter, and beginning the process of resolving his legal and immigration issues. Working closely with the Indian Embassy and with support from Bahraini authorities, the volunteers helped clear fines, resolve Mr Murugesan's visa complications, and arranged a flight ticket for his return home. He departed Bahrain on Saturday night after all formalities were completed. Leaders from the group expressed gratitude to the Bahrain government, the Indian diplomatic mission, and the individuals who helped fund and facilitate the process. Annai Tamil Mandram operates a round-the-clock helpline for the Tamil community in Bahrain.

Tourism spending in the Middle East is projected to reach $350bln by 2030, according to a new travel industry report
A new report compiled by Tourism Economics on behalf of Arabian Travel Market (ATM) predicts that by 2030, total tourism spend in the Middle East will be 50% higher than in 2024, generating expenditure of nearly US$350 billion. The ATM Travel Trends Report 2025 reveals insights into the trends and transformations redefining the travel sector in the Middle East and worldwide, including the surge of business travel, the growth of the luxury segment, and the boom in regional sports tourism. The report highlights exceptional growth in Middle East travel spending, projected to exceed 2019 levels by 54% this year and anticipates an annual growth rate of over 7% from 2025 to 2030. Danielle Curtis, Exhibition Director ME, Arabian Travel Market, said: 'The report's findings confirm that travel growth in the Middle East is incredibly strong, with annual growth averaging more than 7% through 2030. Bold national visions, game-changing developments, and enhanced connectivity are some of the key factors driving this momentum.' Underscoring the Middle East's strong position in global tourism, inbound travel from outside the region is set to grow by 13% annually up to 2030 and outbound business travel forecast to surge at 9% per year. European source markets make up 50% of all leisure travel to the Middle East, with India and the United Kingdom the top two inbound international leisure source markets. China is also a critical market, ranking third by value with leisure spend expected to increase by 130% by 2030. Furthermore, tourism nights by visitors from Asia Pacific and Africa, are expected to increase by over 100% between now and 2030. For outbound travel, Saudi Arabia and Egypt dominate regional flows, while Thailand and the United Kingdom lead as preferred long-haul destinations. The four largest airlines in the region – Emirates, Etihad Airways, Qatar Airways and Saudia – have placed nearly 780 aircraft orders with Boeing and Airbus, representing major expansions to their existing fleets. This significant investment underscores the region's strategic focus on becoming a global aviation hub and meeting rising passenger demand over the coming decade. The Middle East's rise as a global hub for business events is another key highlight of the report, which states that spending on Middle East business travel will grow 1.5 times faster than the global average through to 2030. The region's strategic location at the centre of Asia, Africa, and Europe supports business and leisure travel, with the latter on a particularly strong trajectory for growth. The sector plays a vital role in developing the region's reputation for hosting major events. It is expected to experience the second-fastest rate of business travel growth among all global regions, underscoring the increased potential for combining business and leisure travel, or 'bleisure'. Curtis commented: 'At ATM 2025, we recognised the industry's hunger for innovation in travel technology as well as the rising demand for business travel across the region. In response, we launched two dynamic new zones, IBTM@ATM and the Innovation Zone, designed to empower our growing audience to shape the future of travel with the speed and scale our exciting industry demands.' The region is also witnessing unprecedented growth in luxury and lifestyle tourism, attracting a new generation of high-net-worth travellers, drawn to exceptional Middle East hospitality, curated experiences and premium cultural events. According to the report global spending on luxury leisure hospitality is expected to continue growing briskly reaching over US$390 billion by 2028. 'Travellers drawn to the Middle East tend to spend more on travel overall, nearly 60% habitually spending on luxury experiences while travelling compared to under 40% among travellers who favour other destinations,' added Curtis. Of the more than 170 luxury hotel properties in the Middle East, nearly 100 are situated Abu Dhabi and Dubai, with 22 currently in development. With several luxury properties in the pipeline among Saudi Arabia's Giga projects, the region will continue to serve as a preferred destination for luxury and leisure travellers. Following in the footsteps of the Qatar 2022 World Cup and Dubai Expo 2020, the Middle East region has a proven track record for successfully hosting high-profile entertainment and sports events. According to the ATM Travel Trends report, the strong appetite for sports tourism in the region will lead to a potential growth rate of 63% in the coming years, with the 2034 FIFA World Cup in Saudi Arabia set to continue this momentum. According to the report, golf, motorsports, football, cycling, and esports are all benefiting from heightened visibility and investment in the region. This surge in sporting and entertainment events is significantly boosting the travel industry, driving increased demand for hotel stays, flights, and related services, creating a ripple effect that supports broader tourism growth. ATM is the leading international travel and tourism event held annually in Dubai. It plays a vital role in shaping the future of global travel. Held at the Dubai World Trade Centre, the 2025 edition welcomed over 55,000 industry professionals from 166 countries, achieving year-on-year growth of 16%. The next edition will take place from 4-7 May 2026. To view the report, please click here.
