Dubai: Emirates Post Group has unveiled a collection of unique stamps, paying tribute to the Emirati almond fruit. The launch of new stamps seeks to foster public awareness of local, natural, and agricultural resources and their significance for generations to come.
The stamps feature the essence of the iconic Emirati almond tree, a semi-green marvel that thrives in various corners of the country.
