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

He could get that in Puerto Banus or Ibiza.

I assume OP isn’t in the U.K. as they mention Dubai being a short flight away.

It’ll probably be over by then.

How does he know it will all be over by October...?
Has he the gift of Clarevoyence ?
He's an idiot..
Even if it is over the place will be a mess

I'm sorry OP, he's a fool. We've written off our plans to go to Cyprus for the foreseeable.

Oh another Dubai thread. How original. 1/10 For effort.

Loads of Southern Europe is lovely and warm still in October.

Is there anything that can put people off Dubai?

Nope wouldn't go against foreign office advice and you lose out on insurances etc

Maximise his life insurance and wave him off from the airport.

October is a long way off. A week is a long time in the Middle East, anything can and does change at a moment's notice.

If you didn't need to book right now, I'd wait a couple of months.

Does he think he’s gonna get a really good package deal or something?

Let him go. You go to Spain. Take out generous life insurance on him. Sorted.

Well then you've married an idiot.

People booking holidays to Dubai after this should sign a disclaimer that says they agree they wont be rescued by British Government and that they can afford to bring themselves home and stay safe at their own cost.

It will already cost billions to bring people with British passports home (which is fair enough because they didnt know this was coming). However, to book it and know this is going on is just careless and a bit natural selection tbh.

"Exactly. Go to Spain. They’re on the right side of history"

Brilliant, though I expect many may miss your heavy sarcasm completely!

Spains history of atrocities is appalling - driven by religious intolerance and colonial expansion, resulting in massive demographic shifts and the destruction of indigenous cultures.

This

This. Slavery. It’s gross. Plenty of places that are not too far to fly have nice beaches.

No way I would be booking anything on the Middle East at this point. Neither any flight that goes over.
Stay in Europe or North Africa.

Just reaffirm my lack of desire to visit in the first place.

Oh please 🙄

Why not wait before booking

Probably not Egypt!

Pick somewhere in the med? Like Cyprus do you mean?

What about living today in today's world?
Or..... well, do not set foot anywhere in the world!
This of constantly living in someone else's past is plain ridiculous. But, if you are such a thinker, please stay the fuck out Spain and UK. Go live in a cave in a lost island.

Yeah, sorry, West North Africa indeed! Like Morocco.

Get him insured and let him go if he really wants to.

Is he normally hard of thinking?
