Due to the overall security situation in the region, we’ve raised our level of advice for Saudi Arabia to reconsider your need to travel. Retaliatory strikes are occurring across the Middle East region following military strikes on Iran. Airspace closures and flight disruptions are 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. See our general advice on protecting your safety during an armed conflict (see ‘Safety’).

We now advise:

Reconsider your need to travel to Saudi Arabia overall due to the volatile security situation in the region.

Higher levels apply in some areas.
