Retaliatory strikes are occurring in several countries across the Middle East region, following military strikes on Iran. There is a risk of further reprisal attacks and further escalation across the region. Local security situations could deteriorate. Airspace closures and flight disruptions are already occurring across the region and may impact flights globally, causing delays and cancellations. Contact your airline to confirm your flights.

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. See our general advice on protecting your safety during an armed conflict (see ‘Safety’).

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.
