⚠ Active Situation — Check Sources Before Travel

Current Situation

Following the onset of U.S. combat operations in Iran on February 28, 2026, the security situation across the Middle East and Gulf region remains fluid. Multiple governments have issued elevated travel advisories. UAE airspace is subject to intermittent closures, and commercial flight availability changes at short notice.

TryWanderly strongly recommends that clients with upcoming travel to the region consult official government sources below, verify flight status directly with airlines, and consider travel insurance that covers conflict-related disruption. We are actively monitoring the situation and are available to assist with rebooking or alternative itineraries.
