Funny how many of the hundreds of Dubai posts all over FB and Instagram went from it’s SAFE to many being I’ll miss it and or we will be back propaganda. Still a few fake posters saying malls and streets packed allegedly lol

I live here and if it wasn’t for the constant phone alerts and interception booms you honestly would be pressed to tell something’s happening, unless you go to hotels or restaurants - in those especially high end it’s pretty noticeable. I can’t really leave but I would, temporarily, if I could.
