UAE lifts Lebanon travel ban

Published June 30, 2026 Updated June 30, 2026 09:18am

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has announced that its citizens can travel to Lebanon again, ending a two-month ban imposed due to security concerns triggered by the US-Israeli war on Iran, Al Jazeera reports.

Emiratis travelling to Lebanon must register with the UAE’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs before departure, it said.

The UAE had banned its citizens from travelling to Iran, Lebanon and Iraq on April 30 and called on all nationals in those countries to immediately leave and return home.
