Regional escalationÌý

Regional escalation poses significant security risks and has led to travel disruption.  Ìý

The Iranian regime has publicly stated its intention to target locations associated with the United States and Israel. This includes US or Israeli-linked organisations, businesses, facilities and institutions.

Stay away from areas around security or military facilities, and US or Israeli-linked locations.

Iranian strikes against civilian infrastructure across the region such as ports, hotels, roads, bridges, energy facilities, oil production sites, water systems, and airports, have decreased. However, the risk of renewedÌýstrikesÌýremains, and further attacks could occur at short notice.

Shelter in placeÌý

If local authorities advise you to take shelter, stay indoors or move to the nearest safe building immediately. The greatest risk is from falling debris caused by intercepts, and you are safest inside a secure structure. Choose an interior stairwell or a room with as few external walls or windows as possible for additional protection.

Limit your movements to essential journeys only. When travel is unavoidable, aim to move during daylight hours and avoid crowded venues. Always let friends or family know where you are and when you are travelling, and keep your mobile phone with you and charged.

If you are away from your home or hotel, and an attack occurs or you receive an alert from the official UAE warning system, seek shelter in the closest building immediately.

Posting onlineÌý

It is illegal to post material, including videos and photographs, online that is critical of the UAE government,ÌýcompaniesÌýor individuals, or which relates to incidents in the UAE. This includes material which appears to abuse, ridicule or criticise the country or its authorities. Material that is culturally insensitive may also be considered illegal.

Leaving UAEÌý

If your presence in UAE is not essential, you may wish to consider departing - if you judge you can access these options safely. Check for the latest updates from your airline or tour operator, as well as the instructions from local authorities, and the status of any border crossings before you travel. If you are traveling by air do not travel to the airport unless your airline has confirmed your reservation.

Make sure you have access to emergency supplies and essential medication. Travel within or out of UAE is at your own risk.

Keep your departure plans under review and ensure your travel documents are up to date, including any visas required for onward travel.
