Dubai is a popular city for tourists. Last year, 19.59 million people visited Dubai. But now, there is a war. The war is between the US, Israel, and Iran.
Many tourists left Dubai. Restaurants are empty. Hotels have few guests. Natasha Sideris owns 14 restaurants in Dubai. Her business lost 50% to 80% of money. She cut salaries by 30% to save jobs.
Iran attacked Dubai with missiles and drones. Most were stopped, but some hit buildings. Eleven people died. Many flights were cancelled. Hotels are almost empty. Workers are losing their jobs. Everyone hopes the war ends soon.
