Interesting posts, and thank you for all replies. Being an expat for years, to me, the Political correctness or not of UK government is by the way side.
On the outmost and best they are saying this to protect citizens, on the worst to scare monger in the Middle East.
My question is why single out one emirate or one destination, there are many to choose from.
I hope and pray nothing happens, but it is not too far from a potential conflict zone, now the situation in Iran is heating up. obviously alot of Iranians have money in the region, so there is alot of potential scenerios to play out.
If we lived in a free and transparant world which we dont, then possible they could show their cards, and what was the intelligence. It could all coincide with other activity that could happen in the surrounding countries.
Time will tell. And possibly it will be in response to possible US and Israeli action in neighbours Iran.
As mentioned before, I hope and wish every one the best and that they are safe. No one (or no normal person) wants warfare or conflict in the region. It wont help the locals or foreigners. But unfortunately there are lot of stack holders in the region.
Iranians, Isrealis, Americans, as well as British, other expats as well as obviously the local and migrant populations.
Peace to all.
