Demonstrations and protest activity may also occur, and local security situations could deteriorate with little notice. Avoid all demonstrations and protests (see ‘Safety’).
We continue to advise do not travel to Syria due to the dangerous security situation and the threat of armed conflict, air strikes, terrorism, arbitrary detention and kidnapping.
The security situation remains fragile. Armed clashes are ongoing in parts of Syria and have resulted in many civilian casualties. Israeli air strikes may continue to occur throughout the country, including in Damascus. Airports and airlines may suspend operations without notice.
Land border crossings between Syria and Lebanon have been the target of border clashes and bombings and could close without notice. If you’re planning to cross a land border from Syria, contact the relevant authorities in your destination country for entry requirements. Entry and exit requirements for Syria may change without notice (see ‘Travel’).
We advise:
Do not travel to Syria due to the extremely dangerous security situation and the threat of armed conflict, air strikes, terrorism, arbitrary detention and kidnapping.
