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.

The US Embassy in Saudi Arabia has advised its personnel and American citizens in the Kingdom to exercise increased caution and limit any non-essential travel to military installations in the region.

We advise:

Exercise a high degree of caution in Saudi Arabia overall due to the threat of terrorism and missile and drone attacks.

Higher levels apply in some areas.
