Dubai school bus cleaning — It’s time for students to head back to school in Dubai. But it hasn’t been a usual year for anyone and class isn’t going to be any different.

However, even before they drive off for duty, they must undergo a stringent set of measures. Here’s a look at what’s happening. Image Credit: Ahmed Ramzan/ Gulf News
