SAUDI ARABIA - TRAVEL ADVICE

11 August 2017

AUSTRALIAN DEPARTMENT OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS AND TRADE

Reconsider your need to travel to Saudi Arabia due to the threat of terrorist attack.

Due to ongoing violence between government security forces and local elements, we advise you not to travel to the district of Awamiyah, Al Qatif, Eastern Province.

Do not to travel to within 30 kilometres of the border with Yemen because of ongoing sporadic cross-border attacks, including the use of rockets. Some of these rockets have fallen inside Saudi Arabian territory.
