Photos Show Travellers Stuck in the UAE Taking Shelter From War at Indian Expat’s Home
- Businessman Dhiraj Jain offered his private farm in Ajman as temporary refuge on March 8, 2026, after flights across the Gulf were disrupted by the war in the Middle East.
- Nearly 200 passengers faced accommodation shortages as hotels in Dubai were full or too expensive, leaving Indians stranded in Dubai, UAE in urgent need of lodging.
- Indoor halls and temporary tents on the farm are used with mattresses, blankets, and free meals, while an on-site help desk and basic health check-up facility operate.
- Mr. Jain said authorities are managing the situation, and his role was limited to offering available space; some travellers, including Mamta Jain who arrived Feb. 25, moved to the farm after being informed, with flights rescheduled for March 9.
- An AP photo gallery published March 8, 2026, shows the shelter with Mamta Jain, a Mumbai resident, and guest Umang Soin, who said she learned about it after flights were suspended.
