UK Travel Advice for UAE Stays Unchanged After New US-Iran Strikes

The UK Foreign Office has not altered its travel guidance for the United Arab Emirates despite reports of renewed strikes between the US and Iran. The advisory, published on 18 June, removed the previous "all but essential travel" restriction.

British nationals are advised to read the crisis abroad document, follow local authority instructions, and register for email alerts. The same guidance directs travelers to avoid areas near security or military facilities, keep travel documents current, and remain indoors if shelter is ordered.

Officials noted that before the April ceasefire, statements had indicated possible targeting of Gulf locations linked to the US and Israel.

Commercial flights between the UK and the UAE have resumed.

Travelers retain rights under air passenger rules to reach their destination on the next available flight. Travel insurance is likely to remain valid for trips booked under the current advisory, though individual policies should be checked. Package holidays are expected to operate normally, and no automatic refunds apply for cancellations made while the present guidance stands.
