Holidaymakers in Dubai are absolutely furious today after the US-Israeli conflict with Iran meant they had to crop debris out of their pristine holiday photos.

Iranian missiles struck luxury hotels in Dubai over the weekend in retaliatory strikes against the US and Israel, with holidaymakers now being forced to edit their photos to ensure they’re Instagram-ready. 

“They cancelled our reservation at the Hard Rock Cafe,” said holidaymaker Derek Williams, punching the pillow in his five-star Palm Jumeirah hotel. 

“Let me tell you, these explosions are putting a real dampener on things. So is that what all those refugees are trying to get away from? Fair play to them. Having experienced what it’s like to be under attack for a few hours I can definitely see why they wouldn’t want to stick around.

“I missed a tour of the Burj Khalifa because of those missiles, so I know exactly how they feel. 

“Oh, great! Now our desert safari has been cancelled! We must be the unluckiest people in the world. Well, you know. Apart from all those school kids who died from the missile strikes. But I’m sure they’d be pretty annoyed too if they’d rented non-refundable jet skis for tomorrow morning.

“Gosh, I really hope the Bvlgari shop is still open at the Dubai Mall.”
