This guide was written prior to the 2026 hostilities between the US, Israel and Iran and is no longer being updated regularly due to the fast-paced nature of the conflict. Non-essential travel to the broader Middle East region is not advisable due to the risks related to military action. Please consult official government travel advisories and exercise extreme caution before considering travel to the region.
