Level 3: Reconsider TravelReconsider TravelUpdated: October 23, 2026
Why This Level
See What Travelers On The Ground Are SayingReconsider travel to the United Arab Emirates due to terrorism and armed conflict. Iranian-supported Houthis have attacked Saudi airports and other critical infrastructure, causing civilian casualties and major travel disruptions, and the fighting could spread quickly. Strict local laws on social behavior, drugs, financial crimes, and filming officials or infrastructure can lead to arrest, fines, or exit bans.
