The UK's foreign travel advice for the United Arab Emirates has been updated with a warning urging holidaymakers to 'show respect' while visiting the country. Dubai is a hotspot for British tourists and has proved a popular destination for holidaymakers for years due to its luxurious lifestyle, remarkable architecture and warm climate.
On the UK Government website, the foreign travel advice for the United Arab Emirates was updated this week, with a warning for those set to visit imminently. Updated on 27 May, the guidance now states that visitors to the UAE should ‘show respect’.
This comes after the death of His Highness Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the United Arab Emirates, on 13 May, aged 73. Until 22 June, the country is observing a period of mourning, and the Gov.uk website states that “residents and visitors to the UAE should show respect during this time.”
