Travel warning for Dubai and Israel: Vacation under dangerous star!

Travel warning for Dubai and Israel: Vacation under dangerous star!

Current geopolitical tensions have led to comprehensive travel warnings for several countries in the Middle East. The Federal Foreign Office informs that popular holiday regions such as Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (VAE) are now classified as risk areas. The background to this decision is escalating military disputes between Israel and Iran, which make the security situation appear unpredictable in the entire region.

Flight connections in and over these countries are severely restricted or even fully set. Airlines such as Emirates and Flydubai have exposed their connections to several neighboring countries. Travelers are urgently advised to refrain from traveling to these areas, especially individual travelers and tourists with private travel reasons. For the United Arab Emirates, non -necessary trips are advised, even if there is currently no formal travel ban.

warnings for Israel

A special warning applies to Israel, where an official alarm was issued due to extreme dangers. The state of emergency was proclaimed after Israeli attacks have taken place on Iranian facilities. Civil protection in Israel recommends that the population are close to shelter. Tourist trips to Israel are not justifiable under the current circumstances and air traffic to Israel has been discontinued. In addition, the land crossings to Jordan or Egypt are largely blocked. Affected people on site should strictly follow the instructions of the authorities and pursue the media reporting carefully because a return action is prepared by the Federal Government.

global terrorist risk

In addition to the regional security warnings, the global risk of terrorist attacks and kidnappings remains. In particular, the terrorist organizations Al Qaida and the Islamic State (IS) are a threat. This can be seen against the background of the terrorist attacks against Israel on October 7, 2023, which increased the mobilization potential. Although there is currently no specific indications of German interests abroad, it cannot be ruled out that German citizens or institutions are the aim of terrorist acts of violence.

travelers should be aware of the increased dangers and act as a security -conscious manner. It is recommended to be informed about the conditions in the travel destination before and during the trip and to pursue local and international media. Suspicious processes, such as unattended luggage or strange behavior, should be reported to the local police or security authorities immediately. The risk from possible attacks varies from country to country and is low compared to other travel risks, but travelers should be careful.
