Kieran Marshall, 23, from Bradford, is a travel agent in Dubai and had been visiting hotels when the attacks started.<\/p>\n
He said he felt “safe for now” but it was an “ever-changing situation”.<\/p>\n
“I’ve been in touch with friends, family and my colleagues back home. They’ve been working through the night and in the morning to help with any of our customers that are due to travel,” he said.<\/p>\n
“Everybody in the hotel is still in good spirits and the hotel and the tour operator are being good at looking after us and providing us with updates.”<\/p>\n
Marshall said he worked with tour operators in the country to set up excursions and hotel recommendations.<\/p>\n
“We were conducting a site inspection and then all of a sudden we got the update from the Foreign Office saying they had updated travel advice and then that’s when that was when we heard about it,” he said.<\/p>\n
He advised anyone else stuck in the country to discuss their situation with their travel agent.<\/p>\n
“Keep an eye on the Foreign Office website because that will get updated constantly with the most up-to-date advice.<\/p>\n
“And then keep an eye on like the airport websites and the airlines websites that you’re due to travel with,” he concluded.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Kieran Marshall, 23, from Bradford, is a travel agent in Dubai and had been visiting hotels when the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":452474,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[49,50,51,47,52,48],"class_list":["post-452473","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-headlines","tag-headlines","tag-news","tag-top-news","tag-top-stories","tag-topnews","tag-topstories"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452473","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=452473"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/452473\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/452474"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=452473"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=452473"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=452473"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
