United Arab Emirates Travel Advisory
There is a high risk of terrorist violence, including attacks and other activities in the United Arab Emirates. Terrorists may attack with little or no warning and may target tourist locations, transportation hubs, shopping areas, government facilities, and places of worship. Recent missile and drone attacks have targeted populated areas and civilian infrastructure, and there is an increased risk of strikes near government buildings, military sites, and energy infrastructure. Regional tensions could also lead to an increased threat of attacks against Israeli and Jewish communities in the region.

Civilian infrastructure may be targeted, and there is a risk of drone and missile attacks. The security situation can deteriorate rapidly without notice. Additionally, there are ongoing concerns regarding COVID-19, with a Level 4 Travel Health Notice issued by the CDC indicating a very high level of the virus in the country.

Multiple governments strongly advise against all travel to Syria due to extreme security risks including ongoing armed conflict, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary detention, and airstrikes. No part of the country is considered safe from violence. The U.S. Embassy in Damascus has suspended operations, and consular services are unavailable.

South Sudan

South Sudan Travel Advisory
South Sudan faces a volatile and dangerous security situation characterized by ongoing armed conflict, inter-ethnic violence, and high levels of violent crime, including kidnapping and robbery. Foreign nationals are at significant risk. The U.S. government has limited ability to provide emergency consular services, and travel outside Juba is particularly hazardous due to poor road conditions and unauthorized checkpoints.
Democratic Republic of the Congo

Democratic Republic of the Congo Travel Advisory
There is a high risk of crime, unrest, terrorism, kidnapping, and health concerns in the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Conflict between government forces and armed groups is ongoing, particularly in the eastern regions, leading to instability and potential for increased violence. The country is also experiencing an Ebola outbreak, declared a public health emergency by the WHO, with no approved vaccines or specific antiviral treatments for the Bundibugyo strain. Violent demonstrations and protests can occur with little notice, and roadblocks and curfews may be imposed.
