Qatar

US Missions in the Middle EastOct 8

Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities, including attacks on civilian airports and critical infrastructure in Saudi Arabia that have caused civilian casualties, creating a highly volatile regional security environment and a very high risk of sudden flight cancellations, airspace closures, and travel disruptions across major transit hubs such as Dubai and Kuwait. Check your flight's departure status directly with your airline before heading to the airport, keep a low profile, maintain heightened vigilance, and monitor local news for sudden security shifts.
