Official guidance
Advises against all but essential travel to Saudi Arabia and all travel within 10 km of the Yemeni border; warns of flight cancellations and advises departing travellers to consider overland routes to neighbouring countries.
Summary of official information. Always check the official source and follow the guidance of the authorities. UECN does not issue risk ratings; the absence of an alert does not mean that a destination is safe.
The British Embassy in Riyadh and the British Consulate-General in Jeddah have released updated safety alerts for British nationals following repeated missile and drone interceptions over Saudi Arabia.
The UK Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office advised against all but essential travel to Saudi Arabia, alongside a full warning against any travel within 10 kilometres of the border with Yemen.
Authorities highlighted an elevated threat directed at civilian airports, energy facilities, and transport infrastructure across the region. The advisory noted that additional strikes targeting airports and resulting widespread flight cancellations remain very likely.
British nationals intending to leave Saudi Arabia were advised to look into overland travel routes to neighbouring countries rather than relying exclusively on direct flights from Saudi airports.
