In view of the continuing hostilities in the Middle East and the closure of airspace in several countries in the region, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Kazakhstan strongly recommends that Kazakhstani citizens refrain from all travel to the following countries until the cessation of active hostilities and the full stabilisation of the situation:

• Bahrain

• Egypt

• Israel

• Yemen

• Jordan

• Iraq

• Iran

• Qatar

• Saudi Arabia

• Kuwait

• Lebanon

• United Arab Emirates

• Oman

• Syria

❗️ Kazakhstani citizens currently present in the region are once again urged to exercise heightened personal safety precautions, avoid visiting potentially dangerous areas, and strictly follow the instructions of local authorities. This includes proceeding immediately to shelters in the event of missile alerts, maintaining regular contact with Kazakh diplomatic missions abroad, as well as with tour operators and air carriers.
