We continue to advise exercise a high degree of caution in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Conflicts in the Middle East could result in an increase in tensions elsewhere in the region and may result in airspace closures, flight cancellations and other travel disruptions. Demonstrations and protest activity may also occur, and local security situations could deteriorate with little notice. Avoid all demonstrations and protests (see ‘Safety’).

Tourist visas for the UAE are issued on arrival in Abu Dhabi and Dubai. For the latest information on travelling to, from or connecting through Abu Dhabi and Dubai international airports, see ‘Travel’.

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in the UAE due to the threat of terrorism.
