We reiterate the precautionary and vigilance measures applicable across the entire territory of the United Arab Emirates :

1. comply with the safety instructions issued by the Emirati government

2. continue to strictly follow the instructions of the local authorities

3. remain indoors, stay away from windows, doors, and open areas, and continue to monitor official guidance and recommendations

4. refrain from posting on social media any videos, images or comments related to interceptions, fallen debris, or similar incidents

5. stay in contact with your travel provider or airline to obtain the latest information. Under no circumstances should you go to the airport without a confirmed flight booking, access may be denied without a confirmed ticket.

If you are still in UAE, we would like to remind you to declare your stay abroad with LamA: "Lëtzebuerger am Ausland".
