'No Eviction' Order Issued to Dubai Hotels as Liverpool Travellers Stranded
Authorities have mandated hotels to extend stays and cover costs for stranded tourists amid flight cancellations, affecting over 50,000 visitors in the UAE, officials said.
- On Sunday, Dubai's Department of Economy and Tourism emailed hotel operators instructing that no guests be evicted and hotels must report cases they cannot accommodate, the email seen by Khaleej Times said.
- As the US–Iran conflict intensified this week, mass flight cancellations and airport disruption followed, with Dubai airspace closed after a reported Iranian strike on March 1, 2026 and a projectile over Dubai on February 28, 2026.
- DCT Abu Dhabi told hotels to extend stays for stranded guests and cover extra nights, while the UAE General Civil Aviation Authority confirmed it will cover sustenance and accommodation costs.
- With about 200,000 British nationals in the Gulf, Prime Minister Keir Starmer said roughly 94,000 have registered and more than 50,000 are believed to be in the UAE, prompting UK evacuation plans.
- Passengers worldwide were left stranded after flights into Dubai were suspended, and Foreign Office travel guidance advises against travel to Iran, Israel and Palestine and all but essential travel to the UAE, Qatar, Kuwait and Bahrain.
