Former Apprentice star Luisa Zissman has insisted Dubai remains 'safer than the UK' despite being forced to shelter in her basement during recent missile strikes across the Middle East. The 38-year-old mother of three moved from Britain last December, citing safety concerns, but has now experienced attacks that shook her home.
In a social media post, Zissman described hearing 'two massive bangs' while attempting to take her children to the park, prompting a retreat indoors. She wrote: 'We retreated and then heard another two. So now movie time in the basement. So surreal and scary.'
Despite the ongoing strikes, which have hit landmarks such as the Burj Al Arab and Palm Jumeirah, Zissman reaffirmed her view that Dubai is safer than the UK. Responding to a follower who questioned her earlier claim, she replied simply: 'Yes!'
Iran has launched hundreds of missiles and drones at Dubai following the assassination of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Thousands of British holidaymakers remain stranded as Dubai's airports are closed and flights suspended.
