The FCDO said terrorists “continue to issue statements threatening to carry out attacks in the Gulf region”, popular with tourists.


It also said terrorists referred to attacks on western interests, including “residential compounds, military, oil, transport and aviation interests, as well as crowded places such as restaurants, hotels, beaches, shopping centres and mosques”. 


“You should maintain a high level of security awareness, particularly in public places,” the FCDO added.
