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 escalation across the region. Local security situations could deteriorate quickly.

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

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.
