Every city and island with a guide on this site, placed in the four US State Department advisory levels — normal precautions, increased caution, reconsider travel, do not travel — with the current standing notices called out above the list. Advisory levels move with events and can be raised or lowered without warning; check the live advisory on travel.state.gov before you book or fly.
The State Dept issued Level 3 "Reconsider Travel" advisories for the UAE, Qatar, Oman, and Jordan citing regional armed-conflict risks — including the threat of drone and missile attacks following US–Iran hostilities — and authorized non-emergency US government personnel to depart the UAE and Qatar. Monitor each country's advisory closely before any travel to Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Doha, Muscat, or Petra.
The level assigned to most of the world. Crime and civil unrest are at levels comparable to home — use the same everyday awareness you would in any unfamiliar city.
Be aware of heightened risks to personal safety and security — follow local guidance, register with your embassy for longer stays, and keep an eye on local news.
The State Dept advises weighing the trip against a real, elevated risk to safety — crime, civil unrest, terrorism, or a combination. Check the country's live advisory before booking.
The highest advisory level — issued when there is a greater likelihood of life-threatening risk, with no practical way to reduce it.
