" Pope Francis’ landmark visit to the UAE next week has inspired a Dubai-based flower shop to come up with a special papal bouquet. Marycel Molina Roxas of Petals by Carmille in Al Ghurair Centre said the papal bouquet comes in two variants of white roses or lilies. Roxas said a 6-rose bouquet is available for Dh60 instead of Dh100, and a bouquet of lilies will cost Dh70 instead of Dh120 for UAE residents with tickets to the papal mass. Roxas said the special bouquets were created for papal mass goers who wanted to offer flowers to the pontiff or for special masses in the run-up to his UAE visit. Pope Francis will arrive in the UAE on February 3 for a three-day visit as the country marks 2019 as the Year of Tolerance. Hundreds of people have already gathered in churches across the UAE in hopes of getting free tickets to the papal mass in Abu Dhabi on February 5.
