The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has issued updated travel advice for 14 countries, including Turkey and the United Arab Emirates, following a memorandum of understanding between the US and Iran regarding the Middle East conflict. The new guidance was published on 18 June.
The FCDO has removed its previous travel ban for the UAE, which had advised against all but essential travel since March. It now no longer advises against travel to the UAE, though it warns of regional tensions. Other countries affected include Cyprus, Turkey, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, Jordan, Yemen, Syria, Palestine, Israel, Iran and Kuwait.
In its updated warnings, the FCDO stated: 'The US and Iran have announced a memorandum of understanding in relation to the conflict in the Middle East.' The office also outlined steps for British nationals to take if 'hostilities resume', though specific steps were not detailed in the source.
