The couple were recently holidaying in Dubai despite her revealing she had one of the main Covid-19 symptoms. Anyone displaying symptoms should not be able to fly.
Amir posted on his Snapchat, ‘Lovely day in Dubai’ with a video as they enjoyed a meal.
Faryal also shared Snapchat videos of their hotel pool near the five-star Burj Al Arab hotel. She said: ‘This resort is just…’ and a sticking tongue out emoji.

MailOnline has contacted a spokesperson for Faryal for comment.
This comes days after Amir was accused of blatantly breaching coronavirus rules after a birthday party was held with at least 18 people in a luxurious mansion.
The former world champion from Bolton, Greater Manchester, posted a video of the large gathering on his social media, telling the camera: ‘All the boys are here.’
Khan said the party was a ‘surprise’ with his family and friends also appearing to have hired a private chef and installed a huge sign in lights displaying his nickname ‘King’.
He lives in a £1.5million six-bedroom house with Faryal and their three children.

A huge boxing-themed cake was made by staff at Zara Cakes Manchester, based in Prestwich, which confirmed to MailOnline it was a delivery to a Manchester address.
However it is not known where the party was held, apart from in a property thought to have been hired. The menu included steak, chicken and sea bass.
The chef is believed to have been Alex Beard, a three Michelin star-trained chef based in the Lake District who charges up to £160 per person for bookings.

In the video posted online, Khan told the camera: ‘All the boys are here… So, basically it was a surprise for me – and they did this for me as well, ‘King’.
‘So it was a birthday surprise in the house where I had dinner with everyone, my close friends. And we’ve brought Lamaisah along as well – Lamaisah!’
Neither police nor Khan’s representatives have yet commented on the party, which comes ahead of the couple’s new BBC reality show Meet The Khans in March 2021.
