In recent days, I spoke with counterparts in Egypt ๐ช๐ฌ, Oman ๐ด๐ฒ, Iraq ๐ฎ๐ถ, and UAE ๐ฆ๐ช about the urgent need to break the current cycle of violence in the Middle East.
The UK continues to use all its diplomatic levers to push for de-escalation.
In light of an increase in UK travel advice enquiries, the Embassy clarifies that the FCDO does not currently warn against travel to Dubai, or any other Emirate in the United Arab Emirates and recommends travellers to take normal safety precautions.
