Exercise increased caution with higher advice levels in some areas

Overview

There are more significant safety or security concerns than you would usually find in New Zealand due to the threat from terrorism and drone or missile attacks.

There is an ongoing threat of terrorism in Saudi Arabia. Cross-border attacks originating from Yemen are a threat to Saudi Arabia and its infrastructure.  

Other things that New Zealanders travelling or living in Saudi Arabia should be aware of are:

  • Civil unrest—public demonstrations and protests are illegal. Avoid all demonstrations and protests and follow the advice of local authorities.
  • Local laws—make sure that you get to know the local laws and customs, especially around public decency, drugs and photography.
