Travel Advisory

Level 3

Reconsider Travel

Reconsider travelto Kuwait due to the threat of armed conflict, landmines, and crime. The U.S. government has limited ability to offer services to U.S. citizens in Kuwait due to safety risks. U.S. government employee travel restrictions Due to safety risks, U.S. government employees need special authorization to travel to Kuwait. Additional staffing posture adjustments may be imposed on U.S. personnel under Chief of Mission security responsibility due to evolving security issues. Armed conflict Iranian-supported Houthis have engaged in hostilities against Saudi Arabia, including attacks on civilian airports and other critical infrastructure resulting in civilian casualties and severe travel disruptions. The hostilities have the potential to escalate rapidly beyond that immediate area.. Aviation safety The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has issued a Notice to Airmen (NOTAM) or a Special Federal Aviation Regulation (SFAR). This is due to risks to civil aviation operating within or nearby the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman region, including Kuwait. Consult the Federal Aviation Administration for the most up to date information on current FAA warnings. Crime Exercise increased caution in the Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh area in Kuwait City because of crime. The Kuwaiti police report that the neighborhood of Jleeb Al-Shuyoukh near the Kuwait International Airport is a high-crime area. Landmines Landmines and unexploded ordnance exist in the desert area and some beaches north of the Mutla’a Ridge and near the border with Iraq. The locations of landmines and unexploded ordnance are not marked, so it can be hard to know where they are. There may be unexploded bombs, shells, and landmines left over from the 1990 Gulf War. Do not travel to areas that are “off the beaten path.” Do not touch or move objects in those areas as they could explode.
