Status of Stranded Cypriot Citizens in UAE, Qatar, and Bahrain
March 3, 2026
The situation of Cypriot citizens in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, and Bahrain is challenging. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs is conducting continuous diplomatic talks and assessing the situation following the attacks on Iran. Cypriots stranded in the UAE have their expenses covered. There is also a group of supported Cypriots on a cruise ship in Qatar, and efforts are being made to transport them back to Cyprus. However, the developments depend on the status of airspace and airports.
