3 Mar
Summary
- A British businessman in Dubai reported hearing missile interceptions overhead.
- He described seeing explosions in the sky from his high-rise apartment.
- Despite unease, he expressed faith in government protection and remained.
A British expatriate in Dubai has maintained a positive outlook despite recent missile strikes in the region. Max Wyatt, who has resided in the UAE for seven years, recounted hearing and witnessing explosions from intercepted Iranian missiles. These strikes occurred in response to earlier attacks, with Dubai International Airport, Jebel Ali Port, and several luxury hotels reportedly damaged.
Wyatt described the experience as "insane" but conveyed trust in the protective measures of the government and military. He observed a change in the city's atmosphere, with quieter streets and some instances of panic buying, likening the mood to the early days of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Despite reports of other expats leaving, Wyatt stated he has no intention of departing Dubai. While anticipating a potential impact on his travel company, he remains optimistic about a peaceful resolution and expressed his belief that everything will be resolved soon.
