Lebanon's Ambassador to the United Arab Emirates, Fouad Dandan, announced that flight reservations from the UAE to Lebanon for the upcoming summer season are fully booked. The surge in travel follows the recent decision to lift the travel ban on Emirati citizens visiting Lebanon — a move that Dandan described as opening new horizons for bilateral relations between the two countries.
Speaking to LBCI on Monday, Dandan revealed that there is growing enthusiasm among Emiratis to invest in Lebanon, noting that the UAE has numerous projects capable of contributing to Lebanon’s recovery.
“In the wake of the travel ban being lifted, it is only natural that Emiratis would plan visits to Lebanon, especially during the holidays,” he said. “Yes, the planes are packed — and I’m optimistic.”
Dandan also highlighted the improved security situation in Lebanon. “Since President Joseph Aoun took office and following the formation of the new government, I visited Lebanon and engaged with the leadership,” he said. “They gave me clear directives to work on removing the obstacles that previously prevented travel. Today, the security situation is stable, and the state asserts its presence across all Lebanese territory.”
