The latest update means British travellers can once again travel to, and transit through, Aqaba International airport and seaport, although the Foreign Office continues to advise against all travel to within three kilometres of Jordan's border with Syria.

The country remains subject to regional security warnings, with the FCDO stressing the situation in the Middle East remains unpredictable. British nationals are advised to prepare for possible flight cancellations, periodic airspace closures and other travel disruption.

Earlier this year, the FCDO advised against all but essential travel to most of the Middle East following US and Israeli strikes on Iran, and a subsequent Iranian counter-offensive targeting western allies in the region. 

That initial warning was broadly eased in June, allowing operators including Intrepid Travel and G Adventures to resume, or plan the resumption of, their programmes. The FCDO's advice has continued to change on a country-by-country basis in the months since.

Meanwhile, in Bahrain and Kuwait, the FCDO recently removed advice against all but essential travel after a resumption of hostilities this summer had resulted in a tightening of restrictions. Both countries continue to carry warnings about the possibility of further regional attacks and consequent travel disruption.

The latest FCDO advice for the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Oman also continues to highlight the unpredictable regional security situation. All three countries warn of the risk of escalation and have reported strikes or retaliatory attacks linked to the wider regional tensions.

The FCDO advises travellers to monitor local and international media, follow local authority guidance, keep departure plans under review and stay away from military or security facilities.
