U.S. State Department Advisory
Official safety information for U.S. citizens
Reconsider 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.
- Monitor local media for breaking events.
- Do not film government buildings, infrastructure, or military activity.
- Have an emergency departure plan that does not rely on U.S. government help.
- Check FAA notices before booking, since flights in the region can be cancelled or rerouted with little warning.
