Reconsider travel to the United Arab Emirates. The intensification of the regional conflict has brought missile and drone threats across the Gulf, and airspace closures in early June 2026 caused widespread cancellation, delay, and rerouting of flights through Dubai and Abu Dhabi. The threat of attack on infrastructure and populated areas persists, and shelter-in-place orders may be issued at short notice. Some foreign missions have reduced non-essential personnel. Travellers who remain should monitor official alerts, allow for sudden disruption to flights and ground movement, and identify shelter locations. The security situation can deteriorate rapidly and unpredictably.
