It encouraged British nationals living in or visiting the UAE to read the latest travel advice and sign up for email alerts to stay informed of any developments.
The Embassy advises British nationals in the region to follow the instructions of local authorities, monitor local and international media, keep travel plans under review and ensure their travel documents remain valid.
The guidance also recommends that travellers obtain appropriate travel insurance covering their itinerary and emergency expenses.
Should tensions escalate, the FCDO advises British nationals to stay away from security and military facilities and, if instructed to take shelter, remain indoors or move to the nearest secure building. It notes that the greatest risk during attacks may come from falling debris caused by intercepted missiles.
