The UK government has updated its travel advice against travelling to the UAE, after months of holidays to the region being put on pause. However, it has warned that the ‘situation remains unpredictable’ in the United Arab Emirates, which includes popular hotspot Dubai, so caution should be exercised. It follows a peace agreement between Iran and the US to stop the war. Thousands of Brits were stranded in the UAE when the violence broke out in February this year.Major airport hubs closed, and airlines stopped flights to and from the country.When the war broke out, the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) put a ‘do not travel’ warning in place. This meant Brits travelling to the UAE could see their travel insurance invalidated.However, in an update to the advice, Brits may now book travel to the popular holiday hotspot again with insurance. ‘The US and Iran have announced a memorandum of understanding in relation to the conflict in the Middle East,’ according to the UK government. The Foreign Office has removed its previous travel warning for the UAE’The situation remains unpredictable and attacks could resume at short notice.’The FCDO has also lifted “all but essential travel” warnings for other countries in the Middle East.This includes Bahrain, Qatar and Kuwait, as well as the Eastern Province and Riyadh Province in Saudi Arabia. Mark Tanzer, chief executive of ABTA – The Travel Association, which is the UK’s largest travel association, said: ‘This is the most important development for tourism to and through the Middle East in some time, we know the Government won’t have taken this decision lightly.’The FCDO travel advice is an important tool for both businesses and customers, and while it remains to be seen how quickly a change in FCDO advice will translate into new bookings, we expect to see a positive impact.’We know from our research that people have been delaying booking their summer holiday because they wanted to see what happened with the conflict in the Middle East, and that the government travel advice is an important factor in confidence to travel.’While we’re not out of the woods yet, hopefully this change will open up the market more broadly – there are some very competitively priced holidays for this summer, so if you’re still to book, now is the time to do it.’ It comes after months of disrupted travel to the region as a result of the ongoing warTravel to – and via – the Middle East has largely been fraught with uncertainty since the current conflict between Iran-America/Israel began in February.Away from the Gulf, the impact of the war has had a wider effect on tourism, with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz causing chaos for jet fuel supplies and prices.However, on Sunday, Donald Trump announced that a peace deal with Iran was ‘complete’ and promised to ‘Let the oil flow!’Travel experts spoke to the Daily Mail earlier this week about what travel to the region could look like if peace stays on track.
