Travel to Saudi Arabia
I am currently booked to travel to Dammam in Saudi Arabia, next door to the Persian Gulf and across the water from Iran, this Friday. I am greatly concerned by the developments in Iran and Iraq over the previous few days and the increased tension in the region.
Is there anybody currently in the Eastern region of Saudi Arabia who can give some personal insight into the current situation in Saudi Arabia? I would like to hear from someone on the ground about whether there has been any indication of danger, threats, or higher tension in the region...will it be safe to travel at this time or is it better to cancel my trip?
Best Answer
The current conflict is between US and Iran, and is occurring largely on Iraqi territory. Unless it escalates into full-blown war, which both sides appear to be very keen to avoid, it is exceedingly unlikely that this would have any impact on Saudi Arabia.
