An Italian tourist, who lost her phone while holidaying in the UAE, was in for a pleasant surprise.

She received a special package from the Abu Dhabi Police after she returned to her home country.

In it was her mobile-phone.

The woman, who had reported the incident to the police before flying back home, expressed her gratitude through a video, which has been posted on the Abu Dhabi Police's official social channel. 

"You are wonderful people and I hope to return to Abu Dhabi soon," she said. 

Police said they found the phone in the lost-and-found section of a shopping mall.
