U.S. government updates security guidance for citizens in Oman
As of mid-March 2026, the U.S. government has issued heightened security guidance for Oman due to regional conflict.
Following the start of hostilities between the U.S. and Iran on February 28, 2026, there is an ongoing threat of drone and missile attacks, alongside potential disruptions to travel.
Consequently, the Department of State has maintained a Level 3: Reconsider Travel advisory for the country.
Specific zones, such as the Yemen-Oman border, are under a Level 4: Do Not Travel warning.
Citizens currently in Oman are encouraged to consider leaving while commercial flights remain available.
It is also recommended to enroll in the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) for real-time alerts.
Given the fluid nature of the situation, travelers should regularly check official updates from the U.S.
Embassy and the Department of State website to stay informed about changing conditions.
