UAE issues travel safety alert for citizens in Spain, Italy, and Vietnam amid protests and extreme weather

The UAE Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation has issued urgent travel advisories for Emirati citizens in Spain, Italy, and Vietnam. This move comes in response to ongoing protests, extreme weather conditions, and natural disasters in these regions. The advisories emphasize safety, awareness, and the use of official services to ensure citizens remain protected while abroad.

UAE citizens in Spain warned about protests and wildfires

The UAE Embassy in Madrid has cautioned nationals to avoid areas affected by mass protests and wildfires, particularly in regions like Castile and León. Citizens are urged to follow instructions from local authorities, stay updated via official news sources, and register with the UAE’s “Twajudi” system for real-time alerts and emergency assistance.



Officials highlighted that public unrest and wildfire risks can pose significant threats to safety, urging citizens to limit travel in affected zones and remain vigilant at all times.

Heatwave and demonstrations raise safety concerns

In Italy, especially Rome and surrounding cities, the UAE Embassy has issued guidance warning citizens about a severe heatwave and ongoing public demonstrations. High temperatures combined with large crowds increase health and safety risks.

Emiratis are advised to avoid crowded areas, stay hydrated, and monitor weather alerts. The embassy also emphasizes following local safety directives and keeping emergency contacts handy.

Tropical storm Matmo prompts emergency warnings

The UAE Embassy in Hanoi has alerted citizens about Tropical Storm Matmo, expected to bring strong winds, heavy rainfall, and potential flooding to northern Vietnam. Nationals are urged to comply with local evacuation orders, stay indoors during severe weather, and monitor official updates for safety instructions.

Registration with the “Twajudi” system ensures that citizens receive emergency support and alerts promptly during the storm. The embassy highlighted the importance of preparedness and avoiding non-essential travel during the storm period.

UAE government Reaffirms commitment to citizen safety abroad

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs continues to closely monitor ongoing developments in Spain, Italy, and Vietnam. The UAE emphasizes that the safety and well-being of its citizens abroad is a top priority, encouraging all nationals to exercise increased caution, remain regularly updated, and follow official travel guidance.


By issuing these timely advisories, the UAE reinforces its strong commitment to protecting citizens from geopolitical unrest, extreme weather, and other potential travel-related hazards while traveling internationally under rapidly changing global conditions and emerging new threats.
