The Foreign Office (FCDO) is warning travellers in the United Arab Emirates that terrorist attacks are very likely.
It is the second update the FCDO has issued in the space of a week for the UAE.
The first, which was issued on Saturday (2 August), warned of increasing regional tensions, with Israeli and Jewish-linked sites possible targets for terrorists in the country.
The latest update from Friday 8 August, says: “Terrorists are very likely to try to carry out attacks in the United Arab Emirates.”
It also references a security alert issued to the UAE by the US Mission, which reads: “The US Mission to the United Arab Emirates is aware of information indicating threats toward the Jewish and Israeli communities in the UAE.
“The Mission urges US citizens to avoid locations in the UAE associated with the Jewish and Israeli communities, including places of worship.”
