There remains a high threat to British individuals and organisations in the region. Terrorist attacks could involve the use of chemical and biological materials.

Military action in Iraq continues. Developments in Iraq and on the Middle East Peace Process continue to have an impact on local public opinion in the region and this might be expressed by some people, including through acts of violence against British nationals or organisations. You should follow news reports and be alert to regional developments.

You should maintain a high level of vigilance, particularly in public places frequented by foreigners such as hotels, restaurants and shopping malls. You should take sensible precautions for your personal and vehicle safety and avoid any political gatherings and demonstrations.

Information on the crisis in Iraq is available at www.iraqcrisis.gc.ca.

Canadians in the United Arab Emirates should maintain a high level of personal security awareness at all times as the security situation could deteriorate rapidly without notice.
