(Daily Point) – The United Kingdom (UK) has issued a new travel advisory for the United Arab Emirates (UAE) due to the increased risk of terrorist attacks. The British government advises its citizens to maintain a high level of security awareness, especially in public places and at public events in the UAE.

Currently, the UK updated its travel advice, stating that the risk of terrorist attacks in the UAE is very likely. The British Foreign Office noted that terrorists have issued threats targeting Western interests in the Gulf region.

The advisory does not mention the ongoing clashes between Israel and Hamas but does highlight past instances of terror attacks, such as drones launched into the UAE from Yemen in early 2022, targeting infrastructure and high-profile locations.

UK citizens are advised to monitor local media reports, follow local authorities’ advice in case of an attack, and ensure they have appropriate travel insurance with sufficient coverage. Visitors to the UAE should also check entry requirements and restrictions. Currently, there are no specific warnings in effect for any region of the UAE.
