Over the weekend, missile debris rained over parts of Dubai’s Palm Jumeirah, a tree-shaped, man-made island home to fine-dining establishments and luxury hotels, including the skyscraping Burj Al Arab hotel. According to local authorities, four individuals were injured in the resulting fire.
The damages sustained by the hotels are only part of the story of how the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran and subsequent counterattacks have shaken the travel industry around the world. More than 23,000 flights have been canceled globally since Iran’s first retaliatory strike, according to data from flight analytics platform Cirium.
