Due to military strikes in Bahrain and the volatile security situation in the region, we’ve raised our level of advice for Bahrain to do not travel. Retaliatory strikes are occurring following military strikes on Iran.

Military conflict in the region may result in widespread movement restrictions, airspace closures, flight cancellations and other travel disruptions. Demonstrations and protest activity may also occur, and local security situations could deteriorate with little notice. Avoid all demonstrations and protests.

Australians should shelter in place during strikes. Prioritise your safety, monitor events and follow local advice (see ‘Safety’).

We advise:

Do not travel to Bahrain due to the volatile security situation in the region.
