The Lindner-Davidoff family from Lüneburg finds themselves in an uncertain situation. After five months traveling through Asia, they were set to board their flight home from Doha. The outbreak of war in Iran has thwarted their plans. In the Qatari capital, they hear detonations and see air defense activities right over their hotel.

The Iran war has far-reaching impacts on travelers in the Gulf region. The family from Lower Saxony now depends on current developments to return safely to Germany.
