We’ve reviewed our travel advice for Oman and raised our level of advice. We now advise exercise a high degree of caution overall due to the security situation in the region. The security situation in the Middle East is unpredictable. Conflicts in the Middle East could lead to an increase in tensions elsewhere in the region and may result in airspace closures, flight cancellations and other travel disruptions. Prioritise your safety, monitor events and follow local advice.

Demonstrations and protest activity may also occur, and local security situations could deteriorate with little notice. Avoid all demonstrations and protests. Monitor local media for updates and follow the advice of authorities.

We continue to advise reconsider your need to travel to border areas with Yemen due to the threat of armed conflict and violence.

We now advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in Oman overall.

Higher levels apply in some areas.
