Dh still wants to book a holiday to dubai in Oct?

[Redrobinrose]

He think this will all soon blow over

Reasons for going there, it's not too far to fly, the sea is nice and warm, and the beach nice, nice standard of hotels and restaurants

Not sure what way your voting is for as you don't say your stance on his views?
I think he's off his head. Not a chance.

I think he's being crazy

The real issue is why anyone wants to book a holiday in any month, ever, to this toxic shit hole.

It’s a place built by modern day slaves and relies on slavery to run.

Why would anyone with a conscience visit there?

I didn't see the attraction there before, last alone now!

He is a positive thinker.

Tell him smooth brain is not a good look on him.

Exactly. Go to Spain. They’re on the right side of history and it’s a great country, still very warm in October.

Canaries??

You should go somewhere better and closer like the south of France or Palma in majorca.

Horrible taste in holidays, no interest in human rights or geopolitics... but I guess you can't knock the optimism 😂

Well if going to a soulless, fake place with poor human rights and built by slaves is your thing then by all means book a trip.

How is he going to get insurance? Must companies won't insure against foreign office advice. They are telling people not to go at the moment.

Pick somewhere in the Med. Hopefully this will all be over quickly, but we said the same about Ukraine and that's still going on.

He’s crazy to consider it currently.

I'm inclined to agree with him. Of course this conflict and issue won't be resolved by then, but I really doubt that Dubai will be under active attack then.

That being said, of course you can't be entirely sure, I guess the question is why take the risk? Is there something there so good that it is worth the risk (even if personally I think it is very small), over other destinations that have no risk?

No, no,the health are more important than money.

What is the deal with Dubai being a holiday destination all of a sudden. People are friggin mental aren’t they?

Dubai’s boom as a holiday spot is mostly luxury, shopping, and flashy experiences—people love the glitz and Instagram vibes.

You won’t get insurance at the moment so that cancels that idea anyway!

There's no chance I'd consider this right now. I guess you could leave it for a few months and see how things are looking by then.

Sicily is lovely in October. Has lots of lovely hotels, good food, some amazing historical sites etc.

Definitely. Or Sicily, Greece, Croatia, Cyprus, southern Italy.

It isn't warm at that time of year, it's apocalypse - hot. You can't really go outside.

Maybe not Cyprus...

Is he usually like this?

There might not be an airport by October.
