The United Arab Emirates has announced the lifting of a travel ban for its citizens to Lebanon, effective Monday, June 29, 2026. The ban, which had been in place since April, was attributed to regional developments, including the ongoing Middle East war and concerns regarding Iran's influence in the region.
The UAE's Ministry of Foreign Affairs stated that its citizens will be permitted to travel to Lebanon. However, travelers are required to register with the ministry's consular services platform prior to their departure.
This decision comes as flights between Tehran and Dubai resumed on the same day, marking the first time since the conflict began. Despite this, the UAE has not lifted its separate travel ban on its nationals traveling to Iran.
