You will soon see Dubai images preloaded on your Huawei phone's lockscreen

Dubai is already a destination of choice for many tourists around the world that are looking to peak into the future but a new partnership between Dubai's Tourism authority (DTCM) and Huawei is expected to make even more people aware of the wonders that the city of Dubai offers.

Users of Huawei devices from China, Middle East and Africa will now be able to access Dubai images provided by DTCM as themes, lock screens and galleries. DTCM and Huawei are also developing features in Huawei's EMUI OS that will help tourists explore Dubai in a smarter way.

Huawei plans to share Dubai Tourism information, images, videos, events information,  and online booking/ordering services, with tourists, businessmen and residents to provide a convenient and seamless online experience in Dubai. These assets will be available on upcoming devices as well as existing devices and should download automatically as long as automatic updates are enabled.
