The Foreign Office has relaxed its travel advice for parts of the Middle East – including the United Arab Emirates and Qatar – within hours of the US and Iran signing a tentative peace deal, a move that has been hailed "a vital and welcome step back towards normality" for the travel industry.
The FCDO has softened its stance on travel to the UAE and the wider Gulf region
The latest advisory, published at lunchtime on Thursday (18 June), warns holidaymakers that the situation "remains unpredictable and attacks could resume at short notice".
However it adds that the FCDO no longer advises against all but essential travel to the United Arab Emirates and Qatar. The move also covers other destinations in the region, including Oman, Saudi Arabia and Bahrain.
