+ Update for Australians in Saudi Arabia +

Do not travel

We continue to advise do not travel to Saudi Arabia due to the volatile security situation. You should postpone any planned travel to Saudi Arabia, including travel for religious purposes.

If you are in Saudi Arabia and choose to depart, and if it is safe to do so, consider using private car, train and bus options as alternatives to air travel, including to reach aviation hubs in the UAE and Qatar.

We advise do not travel to King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh, King Fahd International Airport in Dammam or Abha International Airport due to recent security incidents that have disrupted airport operations.

The Houthis have threatened to target Saudi airports and airspace. Exercise extreme caution travelling to and from all airports in Saudi Arabia.

Air travel is significantly disrupted at all major airports, with regular airspace closures, flight cancellations and delays. If you choose to depart by air despite our advice, do not leave for the airport in Saudi Arabia until you have reconfirmed your flight with your airline or travel provider. Monitor updates from your airline, follow the advice of local authorities and airport staff, and minimise your time at all airports in Saudi Arabia.

If you remain in Saudi Arabia, be prepared to shelter in place at short notice and ensure you have sufficient food, water and other essential supplies. If a strike occurs, seek shelter in a substantial building and stay away from windows. Falling debris from intercepted missiles and drones also poses a risk.

On 13 October, the Houthis threatened to attack Aramco Headquarters in Dammam and Aramco’s refinery in Riyadh. Exercise extreme caution near all oil and energy infrastructure across the country.

Filming or photographing critical infrastructure, military operations, missile launches or drone activity is prohibited and can result in criminal prosecution.
