"People were working from home, there were people starting to become what we call digital nomads, and people realized they had more flexibility in life," Speer said.

Counter-terrorism officers are continuing to investigate a video posted to social media on Friday claiming the embassy was going to be attacked with drones carrying 'dangerous substances'.

Many UK nationals working in the UAE, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia are looking to return home. However, being in the UK increases the likelihood of being classified as a UK tax resident under the Statutory Residence Test (SRT).

The experience would start before I even entered the airport. Shortly after booking the flight, I was prompted to book a private car service to pick us up from our house and take us to the airport.

While wealthy and glamorous influencers try to convince their followers that their upwardly mobile lives in Dubai are just peachy, in reality, many young Irish teachers and nurses are wondering whether it's time to pack up and return home.

Growing up in a small village in Lebanon taught me resilience and adaptability. Those qualities have influenced my character and my approach to design and decision-making.

"What we are seeing is not just delays - it's systemic volatility. Flight schedules are becoming fluid, and that has a direct impact on the entire travel chain."

This case represents a troubling development where a tourist, already traumatised by the incident, is being treated as a national security risk over what would ordinarily be considered minor conduct. No harm was intended. Under these laws, he can be kept indefinitely.

Under the UK's statutory residence test, individuals who spend 183 days or more in Britain within a tax year are generally considered UK tax residents. If that threshold is crossed, global income, including earnings generated overseas, may become liable for UK taxation.

They keep going on the news and saying they're doing everything they can to get Americans out. I know for a fact they're not. She said she repeatedly messaged the U.S. Embassy in Kuwait before being directed to the consular section, which told her it couldn't help her leave the country and advised her to enroll in the U.S. smart traveler program and shelter in place.

If you live here or have lived here for a long time, you understand that it is a safe place to live and that measures are in place to protect you. There's been a big difference in reactions between people who live here and people who are visiting.

I have been hassling doctors at Derriford Hospital to start. I thought we would be back on Sunday and now I am worried the cancer will get worse because I have not had chemo in time.

In the early morning hours, the Dubai Civil Aviation Authority halted flights as a precaution. The Dubai Media Office later confirmed that the situation was "under control" and that the fire had not spread. However, several flights were diverted while emergency teams responded to the incident.

In situations like this, airspace closures can be announced through NOTAMs with only hours of notice. Airlines and passengers often find out at roughly the same time. Even when routes reopen, aircraft may no longer follow the same paths they originally did. Airlines may be required to detour around restricted airspace, extend flight paths, or reroute aircraft through different hubs.

There was already quite a narrow corridor that all aircraft leaving Europe were having to fly through because of the Israeli operations in Palestine. Everybody was having to fly through a narrow corridor along the Black Sea and now the airspace they were using to go around the conflict has closed, so there's no way to pass through.

I saw a drone attack being intercepted. The wild part was that people were still out and about. The crowd in the mall just seemed unconcerned. They were so trusting of their safety. Since everyone was acting so normal, I went to the beer garden at the hotel. I had a drink while looking at the Burj Khalifa, the world's tallest building. I took a selfie, and just after that, I noticed something that looked like a shooting star, followed by a small explosion.

Large parts of the Middle East, including Iran and Israel, currently feature on the list, and parts of the United Arab Emirates. Those choosing to ignore this advice risk inundating travel insurance and may struggle to access help from home if needed in certain locations.

Generations of foreign workers in the GCC countries have significantly contributed to the workforce, including labourers, construction workers, household staff, security personnel, and cleaners, all vital to building the modern infrastructures that Gulf nations are known for. Millions consider the Gulf their home, despite holding nationalities from other countries.

There is a slow-growing recovery in the United Arab Emirates, which has partially opened its skies and designated "safe" corridors for rescue planes to use. There are a lot of people to move: cities like Dubai and Abu Dhabi host large expat populations and tourists, and their hubs usually handle tens of thousands of transit passengers a day.

Both airports were forced to ground all flights on Saturday, February 28, when the UAE closed its airspace after the US and Israel launched an attack on Iran, resulting in several retaliatory strikes at countries across the Gulf, including the UAE.

But what wonderful hospitality am I and thousands of others receiving as the UAE is battered daily by dozens of killer Iranian missiles and suicide drones, aimed indiscriminately at civilian, economic and military targets. Not only is life here still comfortable and as close to normal as it possibly can be with warheads gate-crashing breakfast at Mach 5 (3,300 mph), but our generous hosts are picking up the tab.

Dubai International Airport (DXB) said that the airport had "sustained minor damage in an incident, which was quickly contained." Four staff sustained injuries and received prompt medical attention. Due to contingency plans already in place, most of the terminals were previously cleared of passengers.
