Passengers coming back from Dubai amidst the ongoing tensions in the Middle East mentioned that life in the city is mostly normal. However, concerns regarding regional developments, especially involving Iran, led them to return to India as a precautionary step. One passenger in Delhi stated, “The situation is normal, and as residents, we are not feeling anything unusual. But since some actions are happening here and there, we think it’s safer to return home and stay protected.”
Another traveler observed that flight operations, which had faced temporary disruptions, are now gradually stabilizing. “Flights have started to resume, so the situation is improving. Some flights even landed yesterday, but the atmosphere is still tense due to Iran. We are grateful for the assistance. The UAE was very supportive throughout. Although Dubai International Airport faced challenges on February 28, it has significantly improved now,” the passenger remarked.
Expressing gratitude for the help received from Indian authorities, another traveler mentioned, “I contacted the Indian Embassy in Dubai, and they provided proper guidance, collected my details, and were highly responsive.” Describing the city’s ambiance, a passenger noted that daily life continued with minimal disturbances. “Everything is normal, and life is proceeding as usual. People are out and about on the streets, and all activities are functioning smoothly. There were some sounds of explosions for a day or two. Children got scared, so we decided to return,” the passenger shared.
A different passenger revealed that they had traveled to Dubai a week ago for a family event and successfully made their way back. “We went there a week ago for a family gathering. I feel fortunate and blessed. Being a resident there, I knew the way back and managed to return independently,” she mentioned. Amid the ongoing geopolitical tensions in the region, many passengers are closely monitoring the situation, with authorities providing advisories and support systems for Indian citizens abroad.
