The Western Region Police Directorate has urged participants and crowds at the Tel Moreeb Race to observe the rules of public safety, to cooperate with police officers and to avoid engaging in dangerous sports, such as motorcycle and modified car racing, in unspecified areas.
The directorate noted that specific tracks are provided to ensure that the event is safe and accident-free.
Lt Col Ojail Ali Abdullah, director of the directorate, called on participants and the public to avoid venturing deep into the desert and to use GPS devices to make it easier for location when necessary. He urged them to be partners in ensuring safety and security in this type of events.
He also noted that police patrols will be securing the road between Liwa and the Tel Mereeb site and that all safety and rescue measures have been taken to intervene in cases of emergency.

What are NFTs?
Are non-fungible tokens a currency, asset, or a licensing instrument? Arnab Das, global market strategist EMEA at Invesco, says they are mix of all of three.
You can buy, hold and use NFTs just like US dollars and Bitcoins. “They can appreciate in value and even produce cash flows.”
However, while money is fungible, NFTs are not. “One Bitcoin, dollar, euro or dirham is largely indistinguishable from the next. Nothing ties a dollar bill to a particular owner, for example. Nor does it tie you to to any goods, services or assets you bought with that currency. In contrast, NFTs confer specific ownership,” Mr Das says.
This makes NFTs closer to a piece of intellectual property such as a work of art or licence, as you can claim royalties or profit by exchanging it at a higher value later, Mr Das says. “They could provide a sustainable income stream.”
This income will depend on future demand and use, which makes NFTs difficult to value. “However, there is a credible use case for many forms of intellectual property, notably art, songs, videos,” Mr Das says.
