So, Dubai has told hotels not to throw out guests who are stranded in the country:
Authorities in Dubai and Abu Dhabi have directed hotels to extend stays for guests unable to depart due to current exceptional circumstances, in a coordinated move to protect international visitors affected by travel disruptions.
The directives require hotels to prioritise guest welfare, ensure accommodation continuity, and avoid asking travellers to vacate rooms if they cannot leave the country or immediately cover extension costs.
I think the suggestion is that the government will foot the bill for the extended stays, actually.
That's nice of them, but still. I can imagine having very light sleep if (as is typical) I was in a hotel room there with huge glass windows and no other room (away from the windows) to rest in.
I would guess, too, that there may be some cheap holidays on offer after this has settled down. (I'm a little curious to see it, but not at all sure how much I would like it.)
