The UK foreign office has downgraded its travel advisory for some Middle Eastern countries following a memorandum of understanding signed by the US and Iran.
The new advice makes it easier for British holidaymakers to travel to destinations like Dubai and Doha.
However, other European governments have not yet changed their guidelines, so citizens should make sure they are aware of what is current in their country as “all but essential travel” advisories can invalidate travel insurance.
Despite the move towards ending the war in the Middle East, airlines are not rushing to resume flights to the region. Most are sticking to their previously announced dates for service resumption. You can find a comprehensive list here.
