Travel to Syrian Arab Republic

The U.S. Department of State and other world governments strongly warn citizens against travel to Syria. Many governments are urging their citizens to leave if they are still in the country.

Several Western countries and some of the Arab Gulf region countries have closed their embassies in Damascus due to the ongoing violence and deteriorating security situation.

Borders may become more difficult to cross or may close without warning.
