Dubai, Turkey, Cyprus and Greece Travel Advice as 'Do Not' Warning Issued
The FCDO warns of increased missile and drone attacks impacting travel safety in the Gulf, advising British nationals to limit travel to specified high-risk areas.
- The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office advised against all but essential travel to the United Arab Emirates , Jordan, and parts of Saudi Arabia on Tuesday, March 10, citing significant regional security risks from escalating missile and drone activity.
- Escalating confrontations between the US, Israel, and Iran drove this guidance, as missile and drone attacks continue across the Middle East, including reported activity in the Eastern Province and Riyadh Province of Saudi Arabia.

- The UK government warns that travel insurance may be invalidated if individuals travel against this guidance, and tourists must rely on personal emergency plans rather than expecting support during the ongoing conflict.
