DET outlines flight status, hotel stay guidelines and visitor support measures.
Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism said visitors in the emirate can be reassured that the situation in Dubai remains stable, with public services continuing to operate normally.
“The safety and well-being of citizens, residents and visitors remains the United Arab Emirates’s highest priority,” the department said in a travel update issued on Saturday.
“Authorities across the UAE continue to closely monitor developments and take all necessary measures to ensure the continued safety and well-being of the public,” it added.
DET noted that the response is supported by the city’s strong track record of managing periods of global disruption, with close coordination between government entities and private sector partners.
Everything Dubai visitors need to know.
Flights Resuming in Dubai
Flight operations in Dubai are gradually resuming.
Both Emirates and flydubai confirmed that a limited number of flights began operating from the evening of March 2, with services expected to return in phases. Operations at Dubai International Airport (DXB) were temporarily suspended on March 7 at 11 a.m. for passenger safety but resumed shortly after.
Travellers are advised to check the status of their flights directly with their airline and follow official UAE government channels for the latest updates. Authorities also recommend that passengers proceed to the airport only after receiving confirmation from their airline, as schedules may still change while operations normalize.
Stay Updated and Hotel Support in Dubai
Flight notifications: Visitors should ensure their contact details are up to date with their airline via its official website to receive timely flight schedule updates.
Hotel rules: According to the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, hotels have been asked to assist affected travellers by offering extensions to stays under existing booking conditions, or better rates where possible, and to ensure visitors are properly cared for during this period.

Safety remains our top priority, alongside our duty of care,” an Emirates spokesperson said. Emirates currently flies to 140 destinations worldwide in peacetime.
