Vicky Pattison has provided her followers with an update as she and her husband, Ercan Ramadan, attempt to leave Dubai amidst the turmoil that erupted following the US-Israel conflict with Iran, causing widespread disruption in the UAE.

The 32-year-old television star disclosed that they embarked on an 11-hour journey across the border to Oman in a frantic effort to return to the UK after facing three consecutive flight cancellations.

Originally considering a detour to Australia or New Zealand, Vicky and Ercan decided their priority was to get back home to their cherished dogs, Milo and Max, as swiftly and securely as possible.

Accompanying photos of their extensive trek to Oman, Vicky wrote, “We apologize for our absence over the past week. With the situation evolving so quickly, we were cautious not to make any statements that might amplify the growing panic.”

She continued, “We’re grateful for your concern and want to assure everyone we’re okay. After three cancelled flights and realizing we wouldn’t reach Australia or New Zealand, our goal became getting home safely and soon.”

Further adding, she expressed, “I know many people in Dubai still feel safe, but for us, returning to our pets, work, and normal life was essential, and Oman seemed like the best choice.”

‘We made our way to Oman from Dubai with some of our friends via private transfer, we used this company @skyevipcarrental and found them to be professional, reasonably priced and comfortable’. 

Vicky continued: ‘All in all, the journey took us around 11 hours, including around 2-3 hours at the border crossing, checking documents and passports and cost about £130pp’.

‘For anyone stuck in Dubai and wanting to get home via Oman, I will put more information on @vickysvacays.. I just don’t want to overwhelm or bore anyone on here. We are going to try and enjoy our last days away and explore Oman hopefully.

‘The last week has been quite unsettled and we understand people feeling unsafe and uncertain.. we have experienced moments like that, but ultimately feel like it’s important we acknowledge our position of privilege. 

She added: ‘We are extremely grateful to be making our way home and are thinking of anyone feeling fearful or unsettled, anywhere in a world that is rapidly becoming an increasingly scary place to be.

‘Finally just a little Thankyou to @addressbeachresort and @uaegov for keeping us safe, calm and informed when possible. We will keep you updated and are looking forward to getting home in the next couple of days.’

Meanwhile an influencer trapped in a five-star hotel in Dubai has said Brits who have managed to flee the city ‘have been lucky’ as she faces a £3,000 bill in living expenses while she remains stranded.

Vicky also explained how she Ercan and pals had also abandoned plans to try to fly to Australia or New Zealand

Lily Mann, 25, arrived in Dubai with her boyfriend James Shires, 33, on February 26 with the intention of a week-long holiday.

The couple has since spent the last two days trying to navigate a way back home after their Etihad Airways flight to Manchester Airport was cancelled, leaving them to either pay upwards of £10,000 each for a one-way flight or to wait indefinitely.

They join the thousands of British travellers stranded in the Middle East after US-Israeli strikes on Iran elicited retaliatory strikes by Iran across the region.

This comes as the UK has halved the readiness time for aircraft carrier HMS Prince of Wales ahead of a possible deployment to the region, it was reported today.

Ms Mann, who also works as a freelance social media manager, told the Daily Mail ‘the flights home are just not there’.

She said: ‘We have been very, very unlucky and people who have got out have been very lucky.

‘The few flights that are showing are business class or first class seats, which are coming up to around £10,000’.

This has forced them to continue staying in the five-star hotel FIVE Luxe JBR, with the holiday extension costing upwards of £3,000 in holiday costs and dog care.
