The conflict between the United States and Iran has also created tension in Dubai, where drone attacks and security alerts have prompted the evacuation of thousands of foreigners. At the same time, the situation has caused clashes among social media influencers over how reality in the city is presented.
Tens of thousands of Britons have reportedly left the UAE since the conflict began two weeks ago. However, many others have decided to stay, arguing that the situation in Dubai remains under control.
The debate has escalated on social media. Influencer Mitchell Armstrong posted a TikTok video mocking those who have left the city, saying that for him, life hasn't changed.
"Nothing has changed for me," he said in the video, adding that while some people were fleeing for fear of attacks, others were continuing their normal activities and even earning more money.
He appeared in a video from his apartment in Dubai, claiming that the situation in the city remains calm and that no explosions or missile interceptions have been heard in recent days.
Popular social media influencer "Soudi of Arabia" also reacted to those who have chosen to leave Dubai. In a video that has received tens of thousands of views, she said that the city is calm and that some of the people who have left are overreacting.
She acknowledged that many residents have experienced stress due to noise from missiles and drones passing over the city, but described the situation as a temporary setback and not an uncontrollable crisis.
At the same time, authorities in Abu Dhabi have taken measures against the spread of unconfirmed information on the internet. According to reports, at least 45 people have been arrested for spreading false information and publishing images showing the locations of the attacks.
The United Arab Emirates' Ministry of Defense has announced that air defense systems have intercepted 285 ballistic missiles, 15 cruise missiles and more than 1,500 drones launched by Iran during the conflict.
Meanwhile, the situation has also triggered a wave of evacuations. The British company Air Charter Service has organized more than 70 evacuation flights from the Middle East since the start of the war. Initially, most of the flights were operated by private jets for people looking to leave the region quickly.
Many of them traveled to Muscat in Oman or Riyadh in Saudi Arabia, from where they then continued on to other international destinations, mainly to Istanbul, one of the main international flight hubs.
According to British authorities, more than 168,000 British citizens have registered their presence in the Middle East with the UK Foreign Office, most of them in the United Arab Emirates.
British officials have described the situation as the biggest consular crisis since the Covid-19 pandemic, while diplomatic teams are working to help citizens who want to leave the region.
Meanwhile, some families have chosen to leave on private jets, while others have used flights organized by governments or airlines, as insecurity in the region continues due to the escalating conflict in the Middle East.
