I suspect there will be some ‘interesting’ ramifications after today’s event. Mercifully we’re not going anywhere near Arabia in the foreseeable future.
Bad timing for me as I was just about to book flights to the ME; to include Cairo in January, UAE in February and Israel in March. Some other destinations to be booked and routing through problematic Doha also. I'm going to hold off for a week and see what happens.
