Travel Advice
UAE Travel
The FCDO advises against all but essential travel to United Arab Emirates.
In essence this means whilst this advise is in place ( we don’t know how long could be hours, days or longer) our tour operator partners will look at bookings in date order and we will then be in contact with our clients about their forthcoming holiday plans.
At this moment there are no new flights to most of the Middle East. Airlines will only resume flying programmes when safe to do so.
We have touched base with all clients we have overseas and will continue to update them as and when we get any updates.
If you have a holiday to the UAE or a holiday that travels via the UAE over the coming days this advise is likely to impact your plans. Outside of this it will remain a wait-and-see status.
As always in times like these, our experts are on hand to help and assist our clients.
As soon as we have any further updates, we will be in contact
